It used to be true, and may still be, that when you bought a print copy of the Britannica and do all the things they want you to do (like subscribing to their yearbook), the price also entitled you to submit a limited number of research requests to the Britannica. You were allowed five a year, or something like that.
Soooooo... by analogy... should the price that people pay for Wikipedia similarly entitle them to a limited number of research requests?
