I agree that the licenses are getting in the way of technical advancement but do you have any suggestions on how to fairly compensate the authors while giving away unlimited free copies to anyone?

If libraries worked on a similar principle to Netflix streaming, subscription music services, etc then I think things would be fine but with libraries being publicly funded and overdue book fines (which of course don't exist with ebooks) I don't see a fair method of compensating the authors.
