Summary:

"These examples paint a stark picture of publishers fighting to expand their rights at the cost of Americans’ access to information. The careful balance of creativity and progress is tilting in a direction that hurts the people of this country. It’s time for Congress to step in and clarify that CDL and digital lending fall under the fair use doctrine. Let libraries do their job, and I might finally move up in this year-long book queue."
