That's what would make this a complicated issue. It would be different than syncing, because it wouldn't be in your cloud account to sync.
Make sense?

If I understand what Rob was saying it's that even though it does not take up your Cloud space you still maintain a "pointer" to that data base. Which should in no way prevent a download of the data to your local machine. I can't see the design of how RW works being different just because of this added data base. By different being that every time you clicked on a snippet from this "purchased" realm that it would go to the cloud to get the data. It makes more logical sense that it works the same way as now. Download and use it offline once downloaded.
So you would download the whole data base including what you purchased to your local machine. But in the cloud you would not be using up any of your space as the data was in a different section of the server a "shared cloud" in idea. This is some what similar to how all cloud services work for music.
If you upload song "a" to Dropbox cloud and that song "a" already exists in their data base they store your File Name and a pointer to the actual song. They don't actually store separate instances of this song that 100,000 users could have. That is a waste of space.
