    60 million is how much data costs from users that have no say over their data. The cost will be astronomically higher if it has to be negotiated with actual authors and publishers. The publishers will in no way allow bulk usage, just look at how they treat libraries for an example of this. It will be cost per usage in some manner, not a one time fee, or even a yearly fee.
