Unless of course the Commissar was the combined consciousness of everyone participating in the collective...
One of the best things about the internet is that we no longer have to wait to for information, getting in line so that you may access an ebook? That is fuckin ridiculous isn't it??
And there are many who do believe in a system of perpetual copyright.
Can the network support 10 billion people logged on simultaneously? What if 10 billion people wanted to access the same text at the same time? Should they all have to pay the same price??? What if the US government decides to give away ereaders to children upon entering the first grade? Should we restrict these new readers reading to texts that they are only capable of purchasing?? Why not simply give them access to the entire library and raise their parent's property taxes a bit?
Mass adoption of ereaders combined with easy sharing of texts would lead to the discovery of new literature.
