A middle-ground for copying Grid data

While not being able to freely transfer or copy data between gridterms makes sense to prevent people from just having them permanently, I think a decent middle-ground could exist.

We could have a single-use, illegal(?) device, similar to existing devices for use with e-notes, which lets you copy a single item of data from one gridterm to another. You would copy it onto the device from one gridterm, and copy it from the device to another gridterm, with the device burning out afterwards. It could be purchased from the same place as those previously mentioned devices, or constructed, but either way would be fairly expensive to keep people from overdoing it.

Why? Just bring the term you want, seriously, take some risks if you want it on your closet nova so badly.

Well, sometimes you may want to sell data to someone else without having to give them the entire terminal, for example. This way, you could do that, but it would be expensive for everyone.

But again, why? Risk that term, set up betrayal, backstabbing, and just incompetence and all the RP that comes from it.

This way you just pay a fee to not have to deal.

If the game is all risk, all bad, all the time that just prohibits roleplay. People end up just storing their devices in their pads to protect them and go out less because things are just always risky.

If the idea of like, scan quality is implemented, the ability to duplicate scans should definitely always produce a lower quality scan with the lowest possible quality of scan being something that can't be duplicated. And then scan quality can affect heat generation / how much ICE is chipped away with a crack, etc.
