Did you notice that if Zitec pays Cashco $25.50 per download and Zitec charges $39 per download, that is about $13 gross for Zitec. Pretty good business to be in with only the costs you outlined.

Yes. I pointed that out earlier. Distribution is expensive. Zitec's getting better than 30% of retail price.

John,

I don't think that 40,000 number is really the number of physical copies. It's more likely to be the number of paid licenses. One physical copy (say to Intellagent) could represent 10, 20, 100 or more licensed uses. A particular buyer (say Intellagent) cannot be prevented from mass copying a software product once they acquire an original copy. The only penalty requires that they get caught cheating. So companies usually buy multiple physical originals and buy the right to make X number of copies of each original to meet their needs. At least that's they way I've always seen it work.
