If everyone got their books from the library, then libraries would have to buy a lot more books, thus the authors would get more money. But if authors were forbidden to sell their books to readers (as you have advocated in previous posts), and instead could only sell them to libraries, that would be a monumental violation of free speech. Power would be taken entirely out of the hands of readers.
