What's a "small fee"? Does it stay small? Who sets it? Is there an
exclusivity (i.e., a monopoly)? The amount I pay as a lawyer to West Group
for essentially public info (cases) is staggering. What about paying money
to a private entity for the ability to download legal forms?

I agree, people are entitled to be paid when they render a service. I don't

mind paying a small fee to have some business collect and disseminate public

documents. Otherwise, it just gets paid from tax dollars.
