Let us say this goes to trial. Records will show you have not downloaded the file again. So there are no damages. And if they take an honest person, who does not have any additional copies to court, that would be very bad publicity. But you are right, there should be a mechanism to give the right to download again to the buyer. Then everything would be clear. What if you gave your user name and password to the buyer, and he even changed it and you have no record?
