I'm sorry. I clicked on that but it was a long thread dating back to 2008. If your point was against Public Libraries then I would make these 2 points in their defence:
1) They are funded by public taxes to promote public literacy, which ranks right up there with motherhood and apple pie, no?
2) I believe Libraries must re-buy their books (or DRM licences thereof) every 14 to 28 reads so there is a recurring income stream for the writers and publishers
