I don't actually know. It's just something I remember from the early days
when I used to attend speeches made by the IC/DPR. Maybe it's because you are
not actually supplying a copy of the data, you are merely letting them have
sight of it. That would be like charging someone to inhale through their nose
when they go into a baker's shop.
"Mmm, those buns smell nice Mrs Hunniman." "That's fifty pee then, please."
So what to do when they realise there's loads in the files they would like a
copy of because they cannot trust it to memory or it's juicier than they
thought it would be? Treat it as a separate request? Charge again?
