I understand your viewpoint but sadly the industry as it stands is dying anyway. If it doesn't adapt then yes it will die. Passing laws to preserve the past sadly won't help.
It should be seen as a golden opportunity to adapt to new markets - I've read approx 50 ebooks in the last 6 months and bought approx 30 pbooks (some new, some used) as a result of those "free" reads. It's a system that works well for me and I spend more on books as a result. YMMV.
