Hey Pond 5!
I just noticed this issue a few mins ago.
Shorter tracks of mine. ex... button clicks, taps, and Notifications alerts under the standard time limit to get a water mark. Have no watermark when you play it in the clip viewer. So whats stopping Me or anyone else from just downloading the Preview file and getting the sound for free? like this one here. One of my tracks
Example # 1

Example #2
http://www.pond5.com/sound-effect/33528792/pebble-drop-button.html
This is someone else's sound that I downloaded a preview for and got the sound no problem. Sorry to TPF... I wont use it.. But Im sure he would like to receive his 50% cut of that sale.
I guess Im just trying to make us aware that we could be loosing potential sales for the Author and Pond 5.
Ideas / Thoughts
Do you guys have any way to make sure all theses views are not just "Preview Downloads?
Can you find a way to add a watermark somehow on the tracks?
Can you give us a show of how many preview have been downloaded?
