Stick, why should the AMA charge you $50 for a set of drawings that cost them [at the most, man power included] $30 to print out and ship in what amounts to a 15 minute operation?
Right, because those numbers also reflect the full benefits that the person preparing them is paid, the equipment used, the facilities used, and the full cost of purchasing and preserving collections.
No, nobody here lives in fantasy-land. Nope.
