It pretty much does. For most people, the internet has replaced libraries for a source of entertainment as well as knowledge/research. That is why a similar source of funding as that currently used for libraries would work well with the internet. If authors are happy with the 6p they get every time a book is loaned from the library they will be just as happy with 6p every time a book is downloaded from the internet.
