I KNOW.... You didn't spell it out well, but I got it.... So, why care if it goes the way of dodo bird? The writers strike shows that this isn't a stable industry, it's just over production in a shrinking market. Look, in this case, we can't change the rules after the game has started . Sorry guy, people want their libraries just the way they are, and that's just the start... You mention capitalism, OK, think about this, If an industry is being hurt by an obviously, 100% legal process, then that was a bad business plan! Get out! Businesses take risks, if they fail, so be it. Let the market work it out, that's capitalism. And it's no secret that libraries have been a part of this market for well over 100 years, and we like it that way...., Look, if I bought 10,000 DVDs and let people borrow them for free, that's my right, EVEN IF MY MOTIVE IS TO DESTROY AN INDUSTRY... If you want to try to stop us, be my guest....... But I warn you, there are more of US than U...... Keep on trolling & CYA in limbo bimbo... I know what you are talking about….. I KNOW….

Sounds like filesharing is a great way to become more well known too! Don't know what the MPAA and RIAA are all in a huff about. I couldn't afford to buy all these CDs and DVDs, so I borrow them from the internet! I wouldn't buy them at all if they were not available for free! anyway--I am familiar with public lending rights to some degree--familiar enough to know that such a system is not in effect in the United States, where I am writing this. That set the stage for a piece of satire regarding filesharing in my mind. Hmmm.

Personally, I borrow hundreds of books a year from my local public library - I would not, and could not, buy them all (if any) if they weren't available in the library - so copyright holders aren't losing a penny, but they are becoming more well known, which is ultimately to their benefit. you obviously have not bothered to learn anything about the concept of ‘public lending rights’ which operate in many countries – copyright holders ARE reimbursed by these schemes for copies of their works held in public libraries (and similar schemes operate for works in academic libraries also).
