So which DRM mechanism should we use?

Just kidding. I think this is a great idea. This could be handled
a couple of ways. If you want immediate download upon completion of
payment, it'd have to be a there'd have to be a product type column so
and we'd need a way to distinguish what needs to happen with different
product types. Something I had thought about but failed to mention in
my ideas is a checkout sequence. I think it'd be nice to be able to
specify on a per-product basis what order of pages the buyer should
traverse when they checkout. This could just tie directly into that.
Maybe have some canned product types and have them associated with a
their own checkout sequences.
Another way this could be handled is through a shipping/order
fulfillment plugin. When all the payment stuff has been gotten out of
the way, a "ship event" could be triggered. The triggered event
could do something useful like pushing data to your shipping
provider (I really don't know how this part works at all), or
preparing print labels. In this case, it could email the customer
with a URL of the download.
Then there's the issue of how many times to allow someone to download
the same file? Or whether to require that the downloader's cookie
match the buyer's cookie?
Regardless, great idea.
