The existing law doesn't simply pay authors, editors, and others involved.

It reaches back decades. It affects scanned books where the originals are out of print and better-quality e-books are nonexistent. It seems to affect potential readers and potential lenders the most when it affects the authors and editors the least or not at all.

At times, I've ended up buying hard copies, because it's cheaper than the publisher's scanned ebook copies. At times they don't have any ebook copies.
