He told those present that "all the major trade publishers have agreed to work with aggregators to make it possible for libraries to offer e-book lending" with the addition of certain "controls." These controls would require library patrons to be onsite in order to access the e-books. And furthermore, libraries will only be able to lend one copy of an e-book to one individual at any given time.

Wow, I missed that in the article. Yeah at $5/gal for gas I want to drive to the library to read a $6 book. That works. But it does point to how publishers and some quarterly report Scrooge McDuck wants to kill not just the US library system but kill them on a global basis. Not even RIAA has stones like that.
Oh, geeze seems I wrote that not in the lighthearted way I was thinking about it. Just add a sense of wonder at the bald faced greed and insanity about the quoted "idea".
