From the article is sounds like several commercial services (like background checks) are using this data in very high volume. The charges may simply have been put in place to offset the cost of serving these high volume customers.
Should the US government subsidize the commercial interests by providing unlimited access for free? Or, is it their duty to provide the information for free to any citizen or US company as a function of the government?
