Fine. BTW:

Think that's not just a new category of problems, but a
major one - without people seem aware of it to the
extent in deserves IMO.

Depending on databases only accessible through a
privately owned Net-API is one thing. The knowledge
gathered and created behind and upon these databases
another issue.

Depending via some Net-API at the results - but being
deprived of all knowledge to get these results
alternatively seems not recommendable with respect to
human nature.

Cheers
