BTW, if you had ever done business with Swedish companies you would know that despite their affable image Swedish business people are very tough and extremely profit driven, far more so than many corporate suits of US companies.
I can only understand this problem faced by Swedish libraries if they have not limited the number of a given book that can be loaned at a given time. This is obviously a design flaw that has to be changed (what would they do in case of a Harry Potter kind of blockbuster hitting the shelves?). $ 3 / download also seems to be a very high fee.

Yes I am an admitted anti-socialist. You got me there!
Yes I made a mistake about Sweden. I get the Nordic countries mixed up sometimes. Sweden has very little oil revenue.
The $3 dollar lending fee is in my opinion a glaring fallacy of a socialist government. I am kind of glad they do that. It easily proves my main point. And I think my other examples were correct.
I am very happy to see the action Sweden took regarding the decision by the manufacturer (Swatch?) to stop making internal watch workings for other manufacturers so they could concentrate on their own business. Sweden allowed that change in policy. (I like watches.)
