Summary:

"Corporate publishing wants to turn all readers into renters. We’re trying to stop them....

Libraries should pay only once for each copy of an ebook, as the Open Library did for the new Brick House book, so that they can lend it to their patrons forever, and nobody—no government, business, or regulatory body—will ever be able to stop them."
