After buying my liseuse and downloading ALL of Cory Doctorow's work for FREE I re-bought all of Cory Doctorow's available pbooks and donated them to the local library.
Yeah, I am sure that libraries everywhere are overwhelmed by the generosity of file sharers.

I'd rather have a link to those studies, thanks.

I am sure they don't apply to Spain.
