     We introduce the Street Performer Protocol, an electronic-commerce
mechanism to facilitate the private
     financing of public works. Using this protocol, people would place
donations in escrow, to be released to
     an author in the event that the promised work be put in the public
domain. This protocol has the
     potential to fund alternative or "marginal" works.
