Nothing could prevent that. Artists who distribute their works
electronically simply have to accept the inevitability that some people
are going to end up with unpaid copies no matter what. There is really
nothing that you can due to prevent copying and sharing, other than
realize and understand that the ones who do end up with "free" copies
are people who would not have purchased the work legitimately in the
first place.
As for me, I think $1.00 per piece would be reasonable, as a bare
minimum, depending on the quality of the work, especially if they are
taking payments via PayPal, then that would definitely be the minimum to
make it worth the fees. For really really high quality stuff, $2.50 to
$5.00 would not be unreasonable. Just remember, if it is good enough,
they will pay (except for those who would never pay under any
circumstances).
