Payment

Ideally, the amount to be paid would be calculated according to the number of times you downloaded the document from our web site, as logged by our web server. However, due to the dynamic nature of the interent and computers in general it is next to impossible to know, with certainty, how many illegal copies of the document you have made. To remedy this troubling situation we estimated the number of copies that are created on a typical download. Following is a list of the locations of these copies:

Your computer's memory, in the following places: your web browser's internal storage of the document, the video buffer from which the document is being displayed on the screen.
Your computer's hard drive, in the following places: your web browser's cache, your operating system's virtual memory page file, or partition.
The proxy server or net cache used by your ISP, in the following places: the computer's memory, the operating system's virtual memory page file or partition.

In sum, a typical download creates 6 copies of the copyright document. The price per copy is $10, therefore the sum total due is $60. If you wish to save the document to file for later retrieval you must pay an additional $10 for the extra copy created and $10 for all later subsequent copies that will be created for viewing the stored document.
