It would perhaps have been nice to post the link to the PDF search site directly, rather than link to the post that links to the search engine. For those too lazy to read the article, here it is: http://search-pdf-books.com/

what, and crawl the entire web to find infrigement? Or pay for someone else to do it - but then, how would you enforce it? The costs of hiring a lawyer to threaten to sue would be greater than the money made from selling the typeface.

Some good points in there, particularly as far as books go. Something similar applies to music, in that: * there is more of a tendency to go for immediate satisfaction than for challenging listening as we flick through the large amount of a
