I owe you... $12.50 by their standards. Sorry, I'm not paying.
What a failure of an attempt to money-grub.

I really hope that doesn't stand. It sounds like a direct slap in the face to the free speech amendment. Or like a new playground law put in place by the resident bully to pretty much guarantee his lunch money.

This is ridiculous, and frankly, kind of amusing.

oh yes, why don't we just put a price on every word ever written or spoken?

Wow....... If that happens, Literature/Grammer Class mind as well be canceled. Seriously, I wouldn't pay billions just to learn words.

Indiviually quote each word. Alternatively, quote BBC instead.

The most ironic thing is, I'm reading Fahrenheit 451.

Or just paraphrase and credit, instead of using that method involving the word-by-word quotation suggested by Lord Tim.

See they make these documents out of paper and ink, with words in them! Authors make them up, and instead of a "script" it has plot!

And then you use your E MA JUH NA SHUN to visualize what's happening! Amazing!

...The point of the book was that people watched movies and lost the intelligence or patience to read a book, and slowly books were banned so everyone would be equal minded. You are part of the group that fictionally started the story in the first place.
