Q: Anti-piracy features for digital products
Hello. I am an ebook author and it is surprisingly challenging to sell ebooks as digital downloads with security features to prevent piracy. I understand that there is no one perfect way to 100% prevent piracy, but I believe that there should be a stack of deterrents. What anti-piracy features does Selldone implement? For example, for ebooks, does Selldone implement download limits per secure link, expiration times for secure links, notification access for each secure links, dynamic watermarking of the ebook with the customer's name and email address or ip address, preventing downloads from concurrent logins etc.? Please let me know, I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.

You are absolutely right — there is no 100% perfect anti-piracy solution for digital products, but having multiple deterrent layers makes a huge difference, and this is an area we are actively investing in very seriously.
Currently, Selldone already supports secure digital product delivery with protected customer access and controlled downloads. We are also rapidly expanding our anti-piracy stack because we’ve seen huge potential in the digital products market.
Some advanced protections already exist, and many more are actively being developed, including:
• Secure download links
• Download access control & customer-based access
• Expiring/regenerated download links
• Dynamic file regeneration every ~20 minutes for extra protection
• Download notifications & tracking
• Login/session-based download validation
• Concurrent access limitations
• Anti-sharing protections
And on our roadmap:
• Customer-specific watermarking for PDFs/images/ebooks
• Advanced DRM-style protections for premium content sellers
• AI-powered plagiarism/copyright detection systems
• More advanced anti-leak & access monitoring tools
The fact that we recently reduced the transaction fee for digital files in Tier 6 and Tier 7 shows how serious we are about supporting creators and digital sellers long-term 😄 We are putting a lot of focus into this area and you will see many more powerful features coming.
Regards,
Alireza
