 >Your analogy is false.

In what way?  There was a video arcade when I was growing up in Vegas 
called Nickelodeon.  The premise was that each game ran off of nickels - 
BUT you had to pay a$5 entrance fee.
It went out of business before too long.

 >Have you even been to www.sjgames.com

Of course.  I like the Warehouse 23 artifact thingy bit, and it's a well 
done site.

Who badmouthed it?

Do you have to pay money before you access the Pyramid section of the 
website?  Then you are paying money to access content on somebody's website.

When I buy a book, online or not, I'm buying a one copy of the item. I'm
