No, I'm not. But this is -- was -- the difference with the internet's own
textual resources. Freed from the cost of paper, ink, and binding, and of
postage, journals were relatively cheap to produce. This leap to low-cost
mass dissemination inspired all kinds of heraldings of new "Gutenberg"
galaxies to come. PMC's loose, 'freely-shared-among individuals' defintion
of fair use seemed to me one harbinger of such a shift. Now, reined back
in by the larger capitalization of the 'net, PMC is different only in one
regard, which is that it ain't printed on paper. Some revolution.
