"it would be no bother me at all;"

It wouldn't bother him. There's no argument to be made out of that really. It doesn't bother me that it wouldn't bother him either.

For me there's a big difference between people choosing not to investigate something *although* it's easy to discover and access and being unable to make that choice, because it's not easy to discover and access. Knowledge is all. Disseminating knowledge that gives others the freedom to make the same choices that you were free to make - to either engage with something or not - is as much as is needed. There will always be those interested in reading John Donne, singing and hearing traditional songs, acting and watching Shakespear - if such things are not effectively impossible to discover.
