    I will simplify it a bit: I am a foundry. I made a font. You buy it, you embed it in a SWF. Few hours later it's all over IRC and newsgroups, the bad unkerned extract. People use it instead of buying the font from me -- what do I eat? Some of them see the absence of kerning and think that all my fonts are fucked up, they never come back -- how do I pay my rent? I have to restrict the buyers in embedding, they get angry and want their money back -- how should I buy me a new car?

    There just isn't a good solution.
