Sue,

An upstream LDM loses control over the dissemination of data-products once the 
products are received by a downstream LDM.

We also have this problem. For example, distribution of the LIGHTNING data is 
restricted to educational institutions. We have, therefore, notified receivers 
of this policy and showed them how to ensure that the products don't get 
redistributed outside the institution. The mechanisms for doing this are in the 
LDM -- specifically in the ALLOW entries in the LDM configuration-file. Each 
site must, however, implement the policy by appropriately configuring their LDM.
