> Publishing industry really needs more regulation. Free market hardly work there. Most of these problems wouldn't exist if not for copyright law, which is nothing but regulation. You can either fix the problems by introducing more regulation for publishers or by lessening the regulatory restrictions on libraries. Make it legal for them to break DRM (and discuss / purchase / commission DRM-breaking tools), offer scans of physical books to more than one person at a time etc, and your problem is gone.
