I don't really want you as record keeper. If you want the docs there is a service charge. Most of you got the content at a great affordable prices. You used them. You made money basically off my back after the prices dropped. You all know it.
So now this is the second life for the SoBeGirl collection. You all got it for nothing and you fucking know it. You used it and some of you who are bright made a lot of money.
If you want to keep using it legally if the new laws are ever past you will need to own the legal docs. If I were to give them away for free the content would be worth nothing. It would be traded and stolen and shared. And the 1000 or 500 or 250 dollars you spent in the first place would be lost forever.
Those that will pay the service fee for the docs will not share them because it cost them money to get them. It protects the integrity of this incredible collection and protects your investment in this content into the future. SoBeGirl is still around and has been for 5 years because of the decisions that I made. Some of them are hard and difficult but they must be done. This is just one of them. And in 5 years from now those of you still doing business with me will tell me I was correct.
The service charge is small. Even with the service charge SoBeGirl still has more affordable content than ANYONE. Let us all just be fair and all will be great.
Peace Out! I am going to take a walk to Starbucks. See you there on T Mobile..

That's a total bullshit argument. You're whining because *you* sold your content "too cheaply", and now you're trying to make up for that by ripping off webmasters who otherwise have no choice.
Not providing the webmasters who *paid* for your content with the documentation they need to continue using it will not preserve it's value, it will just make it very clear to everyone not to do business with a leech like you, ever.
