Nice rant, but please read the post I was responding to:

I have a bunch of library books due today that I am still in the process of learning from. If only there was a way to let me read these books indefinitely while still allowing others to read them as well...

Libraries exist to lend a limited number of books for a limited amount of time each. If you want a permanent copy of a book, buy one.
(Or live in a country which is addressing the orphan works issue, like France and England)
