ok...what's best way to do this without involving a solicitor..

lets say i have a colleague who has 1000 digital products...that they want to maintain, and let people purchase individually via paypal.

what's the best method of doing this so the developer (me) cannot access these 1000 files - but i can create a basic shopping cart so that people can purchase the items through paypal and get them delivered either via a download link or an automatic e-mail.

All he has to do is upload them - this can be onto his own server space.

Download link which disappears after a week say is good as e-mail is notoriously dodgy. Obviously the download location has to be protected at all times as well for obvious reasons.
