What happened to your earlier plan for some quasi-governmental entity to compensate creators? Does the prospect of this being a tremendous boon to the big six, and bestselling FoxNews authors, now make this less appealing?
I would pay, I'm just not sure I could pay a few thousand a year for my reads. So I can use the library, but is imagining that I am using the library the same as using it?
