There are a few things you can do to help protect against this, such as using DRM (digital rights management) or watermarking your downloads, but it is something to be aware of.

3. Make sure your WooCommerce store is configured properly for digital downloads. This includes setting up your product pages and checkout process correctly, as well as ensuring your server is able to support the delivery of digital files.

In the File URL field, you’ll need to enter the URL of the digital file that you want to sell. If you have multiple files that you want to sell, you can click on the Add File button to add more than one file.
