Jared Benedict held 56,000 USGS maps for ransom. Benedict purchased the 56,000 public domain maps on CD-ROM from USGS. He then asked Internet denizens for donations to recoup his cost of $1600. This was met in 24 hours. All the maps are now freely accessable at the Internet Archive!
Does this strategy bring anything to mind?
