Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for providing user access to a body of content from a source, the computer-implemented method comprising: providing a user with electronic access to a body of content from a source via a computing system, wherein all of the body of content is initially accessible to the user; determining a threshold total amount of content in the body of content that can be accessed, wherein the threshold total amount of content is determined as one of a threshold percentage of the body of content and a threshold number of portions of the body of content; measuring, via the computing system, a total of the body of content that has been accessed; and when the total of the body of content that has been accessed meets or exceeds the threshold total amount of content, automatically restricting the user from accessing the remaining content in the body of content that has not previously been accessed while allowing the user to electronically access the content in the body that has previously been accessed.
