Apparatus, and an associated method, for facilitating formation of content streams formed of content for distribution to content consumers. A request detector detects indications of demand for content. Selection of what content to be included in a content stream is based, in part, upon the demand for the content indicated by the request detector. Once selection of the content is made, the content streams are generated by retrieving the selected content. And, the content streams, once formed, are made available for distribution to the content consumers.

Apparatus, and an associated method, for facilitating distribution of revenue generated pursuant to distribution of content, such as recorded music files or other entertainment files, to content consumers. Identification is made by an identifier of includable distribution entities that are includable in distributions of revenue derived as a result of downloading content to content consumers. A revenue allocator allocates revenues to the includable distribution entities according to a selected formula. The selected formula is dynamically alterable, depending upon demand indications, as well as other criteria.
