Can you sell limited use 3d print model files?

Hey there customers are finding Shapeways expensive and I was wondering if there was a way to sell limited use 3d print model files?

 

ie is there a way where customers can download your file but only use it say once on their choice of 3d printer?

 

I guess I want to avoid people ripping off my file and giving it to anyone or selling it themselves?

 

example of one such print is here:

thanks in advance

    if you sell the file to make it with there is no way to limit it's usage as far as I know...
