While Britney Spears is enjoying babydaddy Kevin Federline's new demo CD on multiple levels (drink coaster, miniature ultimate frisbee tournaments, last-resort diaphragm), a stake in her own recording legacy has been put up for sale on eBay as if it were a Fiestaware soup turreen. From E! Online:

Andrian Adams is either selling the future, a great cocktail party story or maybe a bit of both. The London-based record producer/manager has taken to eBay to auction off his share of the Britney Spears single "Everytime." By his estimation, it is the first time someone has used the site to sell a copyright interest in a certified hit by an A-list artist. [...]


Adams opened bidding last week at about $26,000, privately hoping it would go as high as $125,000. By late Tuesday, the song—or, rather Adams' cut of it—was going for nearly $31,000. With less than 24 hours to go until the auction's scheduled Wednesday close, Adams was far shy of his dream six-figure payday.

If the trend catches on, we could be looking at a hot, all-new 'Partial Intellectual Property' section on eBay. Think about it! For the cost of a winning bid, you could be the proud owner of just-the-Bruce-Vilanch-jokes from the Oscars monologue, the Harajuku girls backup-giggling on Gwen Stefani's album, or the parts of the Good Will Hunting screenplay that Ben Affleck contributed! Both sentences!
