The "rent-a-book" concept is here. Pay a buck, and you're allowed to read for a cumulative total of 10 hours. After that, the text is inaccessible (unless you somehow access the content you purchased...)"

You: Yeah, I'd like to rent that book again for another 10 hours, since I'm working on a project and missed a couple points in the book.
T.S.: Sir, I hope you have a content useage license for that book...
You: Wassat?
T.S.: Sir, you do realize that the 10 hour license strictly forbids you to implement any information you obtained through our book, or keep archived versions in your brain.
You: Um, whatever. I just want to finish my project. Can I rent the book?
T.S.: I'm sorry but you are making it hard for me to ignore your blatant violation of copyright law! A project based on our book would be considered a dirivative of our product, and the license agreement strictly forbids you to create dirivatives from our work!
You: Well, then, what if I make exactly what is mentioned in the book?
T.S.: That would be possible if you purchase an annual useage license. Would you like to include our automatic upgrade option?
You: Oh, no thanks. The design in your books should be just fine until I buy a new computer in a few years.
T.S.: SIR! If you do not purchase upgrades annually, you must destroy your project at the end of the license cycle! If you insist on violating our copyrights, we will need to call the FBI on you!
You: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
