In this way, anyone anywhere can download the font to use, through the browsers -- as long as free fonts can be downloaded freely. The subset of possible thieves, really, is shrunken down to usually-honest professionals. If the foundries can have a trusting relationship with the developers, things will go smoothly. Essentially, it could be just like it is today: administrators pay for a font, and they get the font files. They're expected to install it only on the number of machines they have licenses for, but they can move the fonts around as they wish. As long as someone doesn't notice something wrong, it's assumed that they're being good. That system is working, so far.
