Time costs money. Money costs time.

I spent a year cataloguing their books for that project, requesting free subscription πŸ˜‚

Oh wow I didn't know that. Wouldn't the author's of the books still need to make money somehow?

imo no. People would still purchase physical books. possession of language is a violation of its purpose

PoW, they did the work so they should be rewarded I think

that’s not what pow means really. work for works sake doesn’t = reward

So they put in the work to digitize it and you should have it for free? Why? Because you are handsome? πŸ˜†
