My question is, should I charge for a closed beta? I feel like I shouldn't charge for a closed beta, but I also want to have a reward for my hard work, at least to break even with my expenses.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated!
I was recently exposed to CasperJS and PhantomJS and I'm fascinated with these tools.
Last night I didn't sleep because I built a web crawler that crawls lyrics websites, and matches the lyrics to user generated content in songmeanings.com and lyricinterpretation.com.
Why? Because let's say I want to look for songs about socialization of government, my program is able to say:
"AWOLNATION - Jump on my shoulders"
My question is... is this a profitable idea?
Here's my source:

"They're Your Books
Unlike most other retailers, ebooks from shop.oreilly.com are not restricted. You can freely loan, re-sell or donate them, read them without being tracked, or move them to a new device without re-purchasing all of them."
So does that mean that I can share my e-books on my website for free? or will I be breaking the law?
I know that I should ask a lawyer, but I don't know any lawyer specialized in intellectual property and Digital Rights Management.
I also sent an e-mail to O'Reilly, no response.
