Hmm, so what's the difference between principal investigator and principal investigator?

If justice only mean following the law then I understand you point. But if justice means that the laws should be just also then I do not see your argument. The arguments from a lot of people are that the laws needs to be changed for practical reasons but also more importantly to better balance different interests. Now the interest we have in a society to have information available is not satisfied.

But when I think about it as "would I pay $10000 for that DVD?", the answer is yes. Ideally over time, but yes. Sure, probably a third of those would be boring, but some of the others I would gladly pay $5 for, because they're good but unavailable. Now, compared to the current return that any of those authors (or their estates) get from the books even $1/copy is money for very little. Whoever set it up and negotiated the royalties would be worth their weight in gold, because let's face it, the reason some books/stories are so hard to find is that the copyright holders are arseholes. |

I wouldn't be surprised if I end up faster on the liseuse once we get either faster page turns or dual-page devices. Work it out... 2s/page at 500 pages is about 20 minutes per book just waiting for the page to turn. |

Yep. And there's new stuff coming out all the time that you would be wanting to read, too.
