Great! This part kind of surprises me though:

> However, we want to be clear that this edition is only free to read online, and this posting does not transfer any right to download all or any portion of The Feynman Lectures on Physics for any purpose.

I know it doesn't actually mean anything in practice, but still, I'm shaking my head in disbelief that there's still people out there clinging to this mentality. Aside from the fact that it's fundamentally technically impossible to read something online without downloading it first.

Lawmakers redefined the meaning of download to "download and permanently store". They don't see "download and only hold in application cache for a limited time" as download.

Unless it's child porn, I think.

So we cannot not scrape this to see how many words are in each chapter, how the technical vocabulary changes over topics, or perform an analysis on connected keywords...

Well, If you're going on the definition of download as mentioned above you could write a javascript program to do it and run it on the webpages while they're still in browser.

[syllogism]

I was thinking of making up vocabulary lists, and creating a "learn physics in English" course.

Guess not...

Yes, but isn't that basically the same thing as most streaming services? Netflix? To me, 'clinging' makes it sound like the idea has gone away.
