I'm somewhat puzzled by why you think that this is my view, Moz - I have said at least three times on this thread that libraries are a major source of revenue for many authors. Libraries BUY the books that they lend to their readers. If 1000 libraries have a copy of a book, that's 1000 sales for the author.

Here's a question for you: is the value in my work on www.moz.geek.nz/mozbike physical or intangible? What makes that site valuable in a way that (say) www.trisled.com.au is not?

I'll look at it and get back to you on that.
