Something which I don't understand about paid fonts is: If they are shown in the browser as webfont, I can download (potentially convert to OTF/TTF) and use them on the desktop without paying for 280€ for the desktop license.

My argument is: If you want to charge people for downloading a file, don't offer this file without charging. Exactly that happens when it is used as a CSS font.
