The last thing I read, which was admittedly quite a while ago, had S&S and Macmillan wanting a system where they get paid each time a book is loaned. I believe both have dipped there toes into the current systems to at least try then out since then, but that may still be their stance. It may not necessarily be an unreasonable stance altogether, but with libraries having relatively fixed annual budgets it might be hard for them to manage.
