I think this is what they are getting at:

I buy a book and get a unique URL which I can access the book at. Since I do not own the book, I assume it costs x dollars per month for continued access. While I am paying, this unique URL does not change thus I could send the URL to my friends to read the book on my dime. But as soon as I stop paying the unique URL no longer works.
