HC has put forth a policy that will be extremely detrimental to patron's ability to enjoy ebooks from their libraries. Right? Why did HC do this? To make more MONEY. Bottom line. They don't care about happy customers. They don't care about happy authors. They care about getting as much money for as little effort as possible.

So, if enough people are sufficiently incensed by HCs action to refuse to patronize their product, they'll CHANGE the policy. If the libraries don't get HC books, and people don't know about HC titles, sales go down, less money comes in, and HOPEFULLY somebody at HC with a couple brain cells to rub together fires the moron that came up with this disgusting policy, and fixes it....
Or they'll just blame piracy and spend more money suing people and lobbying congress.
