How do they maintain a trace to, say, Ana Mardoll? I'm curious. Are they maintaining a trace database of book number #109796327846237486 = Ana Mardoll? They can't tie it to the user name, though, since a user name is meaningless. They'd either have to keep the CC# or the user address, and the CC# is the only thing easily verifiable and relatively unique to each user.
What's going to stop that DB from being hacked for all those juicy CC#s? I'd actually PREFER the CC# be embedded in the book (one download) than in a database that will always be vulnerable.
