A book might be purchased by a ______ for $10 and then loaned out a thousand times. That is $10,000 saved in our pockets! Not to mention that the ______ may purchase more than one copy, and there are thousands of ______ across this country. This idea of wasting potentially millions of dollars is just insane to me. The ______ system works, it is a great concept, it keeps millions of dollars in our pockets.
This whole “______-are-pirates” idea is ludicrous. If a ______ makes COPIES of a book they may be guilty of copyright infringement, but if they are just loaning out books that were PURCHASED then nothing bad is happening. On the contrary, money is being saved in our pockets…
