How to protect downloadable products

Can someone please, explain me how zen framework protects downloadable products from stealing? I mean that after someone paid for the product, its download link can be populated and another 100 people can download it.

Maybe I am missing a point, but if a download link is not a dynamic one-time link, this problem should exist.

Thanks

They are dynamic time-limited links.

These articles may help.

There are also a couple detailed posts by me elsewhere on the forum explaining the security around this.
