This is literally the dumbest comparison ever. You set a few to do the search, that right there is your compensation. If the price of copies is really breaking you after 40 years of doing this, then maybe you shouldn't be doing this job. It's 100% being dishonest, and you can't change my mind on this at all. 

I will laugh when the companies start to take work from you all when they get tired of being overcharged.
