You borrow someone's bitcoins... say 1,000 of them. Sell them high, expecting them to fall. You sell them for 500 Each so you have 500,000 dollars. Wait for them to fall in price. Then buy back the 1,000 bitcoins at 200.00 each and spend 200,000 dollars. Return the 1,000 bitcoins back to the original owner and pocket the 300,000 Profit.

IIRC, the little 5 minute segment would air between Sesame Street and Dr. Who on PBS in Florida. Don't know if that was true in other markets. And it's still shown today. It's what helped spark my interest in astronomy,

If the entire encryption mechanism is stored in the 'bundle' it will be cracked. If the 'bundle' must phone-home to validate payment or something similiar, it will be cracked by the crackers, it will be abandoned by the normal public who don't want to have an 'always on' connection to listen to music. Back in the early 90's I would download these single level demos of games to 'try'. Looks like we've come full circle.
