Users can't just pass around the link to a file to download because users must eb logged in to download.
If we think about this though, if we have the ability to send someone a link, we also have the ability to send them the username and password...then they can login and download, and pass it to their friends and to their friends friends etc.

There is no feature to limit the number of times a user can download a product. The user has bought the product and it is their right to download it as many times as they want. It's the same as downloading it once and copying it.
not always so. If I buy a music CD at a store, I can't go back to that store whenever I want and just take a new one. I plan on selling downloadable original music mp3's... I'm not a lawyer, but as the artist, I don't see much difference.
I guess that at the end of the day, there is really no way to completely protect the unauthorized sharing of original copyrighted works, as most of us probably know... we can always copy the CD or file and give it to our friends, but still... every little bit helps.
I'd really like to see some functionality like this...
