Digital download  en

Hello,

I am experimenting with digital downloads and found that if someone was to purchase for example a picture... they would get an email with link (this works)  but

that user that purchased the picture can forward the email around to others and they too can download that picture.

Anyone know how to fix this file sharing?

No if the link is open and known then this is not possibe.  Just shut down the link or make it as short as possible online.

But besides that, once downloaded the user can place it on internet or mail it or copy it  whenever they want so this problem is always the case with digital products, the downloadlink does not matter much here.

Ok but a user passing on a open link and passing around a product is another. 

I think the link should be closed automatically after it has been downloaded.  

this is only my opinion
