I am only going to comment on this bit you wrote, can you not see the problem in allowing someone to "Digest" something before deciding if it was worth it to them? If this is your new business model, please be selling Porsches and let me know where I can come get it. I use Porsches as an example, but the author of a best selling book can afford more than 1 I'll bet.

If you created anything, something that you put your heart and soul into, something that you thought was so incredible, something you sent countless hours thinking of just the right way for this thing to develop, to be complete and then you sell it to one person. Who then copies it a couple of million times, selling it, or hell just giving it away. Can you honestly, without pause, tell me that you wouldn't be pissed and want to kill the person you sold / gave it to?

I doubt you can, it's that utopian society thing, its not possibly as people.

Personally I think you're over simplifying things, as I am in my example.
