I have ADSL, but also a dynamic IP => address... I guess the only effective way to deal with handing out of uid/passwds is this "iso express" service selling uid/passwds as tickets, once you do a successful download, your uid/passwds expires. This way, things would be the same way when you buy a CD. If someone download and shares his copy, it is the same as today, if you buy a boxed set, and share it. I guess a subject the has to be assessed, to decide if such a "iso express" service is feasible, is the cost of internet bandwidth that the service provider (suse) would have to deploy to support downloads committed (sold).
