• enabling users to select and download the media content from the website over the Internet;
• enabling the users to upload media content ratings for the media content to the website over the Internet;
• determining profiles for respective users;
• determining a producer rating for each of the producers based at least in part upon the media content ratings and the user profiles;
• and
• preventing the download of the media content from a producer from the website over the Internet to a user based at least in part upon the producer rating associated with the producer and a predefined threshold.

A system, comprising:

• one or more memories designed to store computer program code;
• and
• one or more processors designed to execute the computer program code stored in the one or more memories, the computer program code designed to cause the one or more processors to perform at least the following:
• search content on the Internet in order to identify a topic, the topic indicative of relevant news or events, the topic indicative of a type of media content that will be requested for uploading from one or more producers;
• publish the topic to the producers;
• receive and store media content uploaded from the producers that relate to the topic in the one or more memories;
• enable users to select and download the media content from the website over the Internet;
• enable the users to upload media content ratings for the media content to the website over the Internet;
• determine a profile for each of the users;
• determine the producer rating based at least in part upon the user profiles in addition to the media content ratings;
• prevent the download of the media content from a first producer from the website over the Internet based at least in part upon the producer rating associated with the first producer;
• and
• permit the download of the media content from a second producer from the website over the Internet based at least in part upon the producer rating associated with the second producer.

A system, comprising:
