Allowing the Players to Share their Purchased Content with the DM not just the DM sharing to the Players

So out of curiosity wouldn't it be possible to allow Players to share with their DM in the same manner that the DM shares with the player, where in the case of a player being involuntarily removed from the session their content is removed with them, so as in to keep with Roll20 TOS where each Player/DM chooses who owns and has access to what each Member Owns. This would allow DMs to share with other DMs as players when one is missing some content. I will understand if Roll20 will choose not to make this a thing however I believe that if you make Compendium sharing not just DM to Player but Player to DM your sales will rise on the individual member level because there are players that are hesitant to make a purchase since as a player it'll only benefit them and not the group. There is also adding a friends list with friend Compendium sharing, just to give your site a bit more flexibility while maintaining TOS. 

This would be pretty tough and would ruin the current cash flow on roll20. Love or hate it. IF this was allowed, i would say that players would have to have a SINGLE share. for instance. if you are in 4 games. you could only share content with ONE. to transfer share, you would need permission becaus otherwise someone would just bounce their share from person to person. The other part is the programming to do it. it sounds simple, but it would have to be designed specificaly for this function. and since there isnt any money in it an dvery few advocating for it. likely to not happen at all.

There is also the issue that if a person left the game, because any content that was in use from their account would leave with them.  That could become an issue with multiple people sharing if "real life" gets in the way of gaming for any involved.

Not sure if I agree with this. It is possible that there might be some money in this as it makes it useful for non-GMs to buy these products. I have seen this in offline groups a bit.  -It becomes too expensive for the GM to buy all the books, but players buy their favourites (whit is relevant for their character) and create a book-pool at the table. Usually this makes people pretty motivated buyers. This would of course require a more thorough analysis, but it is defiantly worth considering.

I can't speak to the details, and I definitely see the points above, but if they could find a streamlined way to do this it could make this service 100x more alluring.
