I think what would be interesting, and an added security feature is when users download zipped files via the My Favorites function, the admin can place a password into those zip files, that can also be changed from time to time. And the user can't unpack the file without the password

this allows the admin to keep a tighter control over downloads, and members leeching off
passwords can be distributed by the admin via email to their members, and members are also forced to keep correct and most uptodate emails in order to recieve the passwords.

just a thought~ :P
