Script similar to "Free album download" sign-up (NIN, Radiohead, so on)

Anyone know of any similar script to provide the visitor with an email submit form, then generate a unique download link to a file on the server, then email out the link? (hopefully the link expires?) PHP and MySQL would be best, to my understanding.

 

example: http://dl.nin.com/theslip/signup

 

I searched with every keyword I could think of, yet nothing comes up. What would a script like this be called, anyway?

Would be nice to have this script for an independent artist like myself. Any ideas?

 

 

All I could find is the following:

There wont be a packaged script as such as what you describe is a very simple task to code yourself.

Any beginner php book will explain how to validate forms and send email.

Well yeah, validating forms and sending emails is the easiest part here. :-\

How about a download manager to manage emailed unique links + use of MySQL database for submitted info storage?

 

That's what's weird, I figured this wouldn't be too hard to put together, and would probably be pretty popular. Nope. Nothing.
