Should be a straightforward question: Is a subscription a software that can be bought with Echos?  Can a TM only connect to the Library of Alexandria with a commlink/deck?  Obviously, if you don't pay for it, you get cut off... but given you maintain it...

If you look at the last line in the description of the Data Library of Alexandria, it says "which is added to the character's Lifestyle cost".  This goes along with my understanding of it being part of your Lifestyle and thus attached to a fake SIN, which holds the account's credentials and login information.  This means a TM can connect via their Living Persona just as easily as anyone else; it's just another part of the matrix to browse, once paid for.

Jeeze.  It would almost sound stupid until you realize we're talking about an immortal elf clown sword fighting a dragon ghost in a mall.
