Mmmm, I think this is not feasible. For the first 10 seconds, it seemed an excellent idea to me, because it reintroduces the possibility of
selling books or music that we always had with physical media.
However, on second thought I decided that this possibility is something that we should accept to have lost with the switch to infinitely copiable media files. Otherwise, what would prevent me from buying media, then making a copy of them, and finally reselling the media? This would constitute a damage to the author (and media vendor).
