Re: is it really that simple?

would be interesting to try and game them with their minimum charge  
policy ... interesting exercise for a quant jock to optimize the  
cheapest way to capture their system.  High end is a simple $0.08/page  
walk through the docs = ~$10m, but if you get enough people willing to  
register, one might be able to do a Pacer@Home thing and get a bunch  
of people to all incur minimal charges, combine the efforts and  
capture the database for $100k?  $0?.  Wondering what the size of that  
population would be to do that.

(not suggesting this as a project, just thinking out loud ... I'm  
increasingly convinced that the solution to the pacer people is to tie  
the attorneys directly to each of the documents.  Once they get a  
stake in these docs, the economics changes dramatically.)
