I never said, and never will say, that libraries or loaning books is "criminal." Unless, of course, you think that distributing a free and permanent copy of an ebook to millions of your best Internet buddies is the same type of "sharing" as a library loan.

Both happen to be compatible options with DRM, by the way. In fact, library programs already exist. I do concur that loaning is exceedingly limited and ought to be expanded. In fact, I even said that ebook loans should be put into wider use, way back in post #22 of this here thread.

Talk about straw men....
