I would like to see some chest pounding by ebook patrons/tax payers/legislators. Something that will bring to public discussion ebook library lending/licensing/copyright.

How about lawsuit and court order: 1) until this is worked out, all sales of books and ebooks is put on hold, 2) or how about a court order that temporarily does away with copyright. FWIW, IANAL, and I'm just throwing the idea out there.
