Or.... should I just forget all the encoding stuff, and just have a (plain old, unprotected) download page I send them to after they pay me, and hope/assume they won't spread the link around so much that it cuts into sales. Assume that the customers + potential customers don't know each other + their paths won't cross.

It'd make it all A LOT easier to set up that way, that's for sure.

What would your advice be?

Thanks.
