Twenty-four hours to get the download before the link dies. Put 'em in a safe place.
I do agree that the web site should be clear about what you get.

Does this help?

Twenty-four hours was the default of the shopping cart plugin we're using. It's what I've experienced for most small business downloads and for the most part at CC, we've had no problems/complaints. Those who have had a problem getting to it in time simply contact us, we check to make sure the purchase was legit, and send a new link.
The software to track and provide secure links ad-infinitum like Baen or Amazon is really beyond us, monetarily.
Also, I should add that when a better version of the product comes available (like the ToCs I'm currently putting into the 'NetWalkers books) an announcement is made on blog and CC and a simple email request will get you a new download link.
Yes, we encourage everyone to make copies of the files and put them in a safe place. Once you have them, if you lose them, it's like losing a physical book. The difference here is, you can have one on your reader, one on your computer, one on a cd one on your TB backup drive...I think you get the idea.
We don't have a problem with you sharing with your family. We only ask that once the kids leave the house, they buy their own copy!
