Authors still get paid from libraries, each library may even buy numerous copies and in many places authors even get a payment for each time someone borrows their books. Libraries are society's way of helping the poor afford books.

What is the reason they couldn't be paid the same way for internet downloads? If all these unauthorised download sites can make money from free content, why is it beyond the capability of people who actually have the rights to distribute that content to do the same?
