Why doesn't the government just make dumps of all documents available either by BitTorrent for free or on a hard drive at cost, and let the free market decide how much to charge (or not) for access?
- analog 14y agoBecause PACER is a revenue stream for the courts.
- afarrell 14y agoBecause they want to maintain a high-availability online system, not one where you have to wait for physical media in the mail or for someone to seed. How many law firms do you think would bother to use BitTorrent?
- tlrobinson 14y agoMy point was 3rd parties could provide the same service cheaper. The gov could continue to run PACER as it currently is too.
