oh, gosh, a LOT of people charge for access to information.
I suggest you start with Uunet, and the regional nets. They charge their
subscribers for access to the information thru periodic "membership" charges.

Heck, for that matter you'd better take on the Baby Bells for charging for
the leased phone lines used to access your information.

Hmm, then there's the sites that charge for access to the net. Are you
ready to take on Compu$erve?

Could public libraries be considered to "charge" for access to information
because they are supported thru taxes?

wow! That's a lot of organizations to sue.

playing devil's advocate,
