The platform divides profits between the artist who uploaded the original content and the creator of AI-generated content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Artists receive a portion of the ad revenue generated on LimeWire, paid out in the platform&#8217;s native LMWR token, based on the number of views their content receives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The content can also be traded as NFTs on LimeWire&#8217;s secondary market. Creators would receive a royalty on this trade volume, presently paid out in USDC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, creators can restrict access to their content by requiring admirers to pay a monthly fee in USDC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These payouts are deposited into the creators&#8217; LimeWire accounts and can be withdrawn at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe studio is truly designed for both seasoned
