serving purchased files

Hi Josh. Another thing I've seen to discourage people sharing the link, is to imprint the file proper with some identifying information. A mob I was working for a while back bought an e-book, and the PDF we downloaded had the purchase officer's email address at the top of every flippin' page. It was good (insofar as there was no download limit per se - as their site blew the big one and it took this guy about 8 attempts and two different browsers before they had success) and bad (it's insanely annoying seeing someone's email address plastered, none too neatly, onto the top of every page of a book you're trying to read).

I offer this as one of the solutions, if not the best one, for discouraging the link-sharing thing.

Btw, nice advert in your sig - how much money do you make if we click on it?
