A method performed by a programmed processor in a portable electronic device that is executing an artist-centric application program stored in the device. The method analyses an object captured in an image to detect a structural pattern and compares the structural pattern with several predefined structural patterns to identify a matching predefined structural pattern, where each predefined structural pattern is associated with a piece of specially licensed content of an artist. Upon identifying a matching predefined structural pattern, the method presents, on a display screen of the portable electronic device, a notification with an option to purchase a particular piece of specially licensed content of the artist that is associated with the matching predefined structural pattern.
