[Refer] Books By the Byte
The story in this news article is that libraries are lending electronic books. The opinion expressed in this news article is summarized in the following quote: "The fear isn't so much about the demise of old-fashioned paper books.... It's more about whether free electronic libraries unfairly compete with the digital initiatives of booksellers, effectively devaluing their copyrights." This is not essentially different from a traditional library, which loans books for free? The question could be, and should be, asked the other way around: are electronic texts in danger of abrogating our right to lend and borrow the books we have purchased and own? Will digital books eventually make libraries illegal?
