A Few Questions About Pay-Per-View
Suppose someone wants to run some searches on a pay-per-view book,
does each search consitute one reading of the book?
What if someone wants to run a concordance program on this book?
Do a word frequency count?
What if someone wants to compare two pages over and over again in
extreme detail to see if they reinforce or contradict each other
in specific instances?
Suppose someone wants to do a thesaurus search on marriage, so a
search is done on: wed, wedded, wedding, unwed, marriage, marry,
matrimony, marry, married, unmarried, union etc., etc., etc.
Does each search count as one "view" to be paid for?
How would one go about becoming an expert, or even more, a scholar,
of material that is released only in pay-per-view formats?
Thanks!
