You are referring to the individual who wishes to retain their property rights in lieu of the fact that the community has decided that said property would do better as a public good. It is indeed a problem for reconciling.
I would suggest adding a donation button to any book that has been seized by the community as a public good, so that the public who chooses to use the text may if they wish support the texts original creator.
Why deny access to books when the corpus of human knowledge is able to given to all freely? Far simpler to determine a new business model IMO.
