A system and method of sharing digital literary works while protecting
against an illegal reproduction through a communication network is
disclosed. The system comprises a data communication network, a list
providing server, at least one agent server, at least one user terminal,
a main server, at least one sub-server, a premise communication network,
and a network interface unit. The system is advantageous in that it
enables users to share digital literary works produced for publicity,
works having a low quality, or encrypted digital literary works through
the network against a distribution of illegally reproduced digital
literary works having the same quality as original literary works through
a Sharing Web, thus preventing a reduction of sales amounts of original
literary works due to such illegal reproductions.
