[QUOTE="Ghostwind, post: 558744, member: 3060"] This is just an off the top of my head thought so if it gets shot down quickly, so be it. Instead of working up a licensing arrangement that is legal and binding, why not offer a multiple purchase discount? Buy one pdf at full price and additional copies (of the same title) would go for a reduced price of x%. Even though you would only be downloading the title once, it is effectively granting Y number of additional copies (or licenses to use the product). I would think that it would be easier to develop this system rather than coming up with a license everyone can agree on that is also legally binding. For example, let's pick on Sigil's good book on mystical music with the really hard to pronounce title. :) It would stand to reason that I, as a DM, would likely pick it up on my own to possibly use in my campaign and pay full price. Now if I found it a valuable resource to my players, I would recommend it to them and encourage them to buy it. If a multiple purchase discount was in place, then the group of 4 could buy a single copy at full price followed by 3 more at the reduced price. Between the four of them they could average the cost and give the guy who just charged his credit card what they owed. Now that file could be transferred to them without breaking the one user agreement. Your thoughts on this approach? [/QUOTE]
