The line "if the user has paid" is rather vague.  Paid whom, exactly?
Anyone?  Is it enough if I slip my brother-in-law a fin for passing me

[R]eversing the apostolic precept to be all things to all men, I usually [before
Darwin] defended the tenability of the received doctrines, when I had to do
with the [evolution]ists; and stood up for the possibility of [evolution] among
the orthodox -- thereby, no doubt, increasing an already current, but quite
undeserved, reputation for needless combativeness.  --T. H. Huxley
