I have idea to sell javascript enabled pdf as digital download product at etsy and other marketplaces.

Little bit confused that i can't find examples of such activity from other sellers?

I try to understand -is situation when such products are  not in demand by the market or i just didnt find examples ? Or may be any other reasons making this idea   not viable ?

Any ideas ??

If you sell it once anybody can steal it and redistribute.  That is my guess.

in general case this problem is specific for all digital products-meanwhile for the most of its market and demand do exist obviously. So i am confusing with situation  interactive pdf, neveretheless some protection mechanisms (obfuscation, drm, watermarking etc.) are possible
