Premium Online Access

Hi all,
I've just heard of C5 and am quickly falling in love. I'm considering migrating my site over from Drupal and wondering if C5 covers my needs . . .
I've figured out almost everything except these two:
1) Can I mark some pages as "premium content", so that they're visible only to people who buy a certain product on the eCommerce add-on? (This is not a sweeping, by-role or by-permission issue; it's a certain product for a certain group of pages, with many such product/pages couples.)
2) How about affiliates for eCommerce?
Thanks for your help,
Tal

right now i don't think there is a built addon where you "buy a subscription" type service as in you buy and are moved into a group, but it shouldn't be that hard to make, i would try contact jimbojetset and see if he can make it for a price
strike that, you can have them buy something and it place them in a group :) so it is toatally possible
Thanks for your input! The solution you're suggesting, though, requires me to open a group for each product, and I'm hoping to have hundreds of such products . . . (Instead of subscription, think access to online books--each books is either "yours" or not.)
What do you think will work better (security/performance-wise), 600 groups or some add-on that checks if the user has bought a certain product?
And what's the rate for developing a standard C5 add-on, these days? I'm only familiar with the world of Drupal.

some addon that checks if the person owns it is probbably better, there is no public block that i know of at the moment that can do that though
Thank you, Mnkras!
