Lending libraries don't violate copyright. They do not "copy" the materal. They only "lend" it to somebody. Like you buying a book, reading it, then giving it to a friend to read on the assumption that they will return it. Or, like a 2nd hand book store, you can sell your purchansed copy to another. In none of these cases do you copy the material.
The current media companies want to change this. Such as with one electronic book which electronically erased a page when you went to the next page. That went over very poorly. "This tape will self destruct in 5 seconds". Media companies want the equivalent of TV's "pay per view". If you read a book 5 times, you should pay them 5 times. If you play a song 5 times, you should pay 5 fees. Oh, and I guess that the books for children it would be, pay once to buy, pay "n" times to read it out loud "n" times to your child. Greed Uber Alles! (I don't know how to put in the umlauts). Most companies today are "of the money, for the money, by the money" or maybe "the money, the whole money, and nothing but the money, so help you profit!" -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
