No, that is absurd.
1) "Piracy" is actually copyright infringement.
2) The license to read a book accompanies the physical copy.
3) Libraries are not engaging in copyright infringement.
4) Thus libraries are not engaging in "piracy".
There is nothing "philosophical" about it, it's just plain old common sense.
- res0nat0r 15y agoThe license to listen to an mp3 accompanies the digital copy also. Just because it is 'digital' and only takes a couple of button clicks to replicate doesn't mean everyone should get a n mp3 copy of an album without paying for it, correct?
