  The real trick is to cheat honestly… Thats what everybody does now. Feed them garbage will the goof ball professor grade it or will it be given to AI. We need to eat the rich asap

  Publishers usually get about 85 to 90% of the profits on printed books, and 75% of the profit on ebooks.

  If using copyrighted data becomes illegal, they will get 100% of the profit from selling their data most likely.

  This book should be aimed at them.
