And others such as SheetMusicNow.com actually force each user to proove his/her purchase before each individual printing of the file by means of a mandatory installed printing program which checks over the internet with a centralized server to make sure that that exact PDF file was paid for by that exact computer. But obviously this technology is way beyond your average private desktop publishing setup. But it is indeed *the ultimate answer* to the problem of spreading the files by means of the internet, even though after printing, of course, one is still free as a bird to make photocopies. I think that allowing or not allowing anything of this sort is a rather futile undertaking, unless of course you are prepared, willing and eager to go to court, in which case you are immediately dealing with international law, which is a deep, dark and foggy forest (not to mention extremely expensive).
