If you told them: "Hey no prob, I know the content was legitimately licensed. I'll just send you another license straight away", you would probably earn more in terms of reputation and people would remember it next time they are buying more content.
good point and all we do is write a new license for the new owner to sign and charge a small admin fee when we are contacted. It's the people who ignore the license we have problems with. They don't bother to stick to it and sell the content as their own, including it in the price of the site.

So the question is, should people ignore the rules?
