I've been thinking how the "ransom model" could be an interesting
alternative for Europe's National Mapping Agencies. The cost of
collecting a set of updates would be met - in the form of low-cost
licenses - and the ransomed data would escape into the public domain.

Steve, i guess you are the Steve Morris who spoke at Where2.0 about the
deep issues of geodata archiving. I really enjoyed that talk. I agree
with the contention that we may well one day be viewed as having lived 
in a "digital dark age".
