Usage reporting

When you read a licensed translation, Context loads API.Bible’s Fair Use Management System (FUMS), which reports which passages were viewed using anonymous device and session identifiers, so publishers can see how their text is used. Nothing is reported when you read the public-domain or Amharic texts.
