For simplicity and investment of time this has to be the most efficient
option, by default I'll be keeping a record of downloads and the
corresponding IP numbers. Then better to use the time saved to concentrate on
the front page and sourcing publicity channels. Inevitably I will lose sales
to illegal copies but this is not easily resolved, even an encrypted document
can have screen-shots made of it. Better to explain why and how the sales
will assist in sustaining an Open Source system development to encourage
payment.

BTW: It's an eBook about small scale OSS collaborative development designed
to assist, save time/money and enlighten interested readers. About 60 pages
for under the 5 dollar mark, filled with things I have learned and tools I
have used for DIASER development over the past few years. (Maybe the first
out of two, the second will be written when I have reached late beta or
production). I have sought permission from the collaborators and individuals
involved. I'm at the editing stage now and have three others helping me with
editing and proofing.
