Just a quickie.
When the user clicks the download link to download a Digital Goods, is the uri obfsucated so that it cannot be hotlinked?

Well in an optimal situation, the files are actually stored in a directory that is not accessible from the web.

So if your site runs from
/home/user/public_html

the files could be stored in
/home/user/some_folder

With that, there is actually no direct link to begin with. The php file that handles all the permissions for downloading is the only way users can actually get the file. Once it knows the user can download it, it sends it as a binary file to the user(so even if it is a jpeg or html file, the user will be prompted to download rather than showing the image or the page)
