They could have started with the name. The service they were providing was really all about matching people together to lend books to one another. They didn't actually do any lending. But the name LendInk could definitely be interpreted to mean that they, in fact, lent ink. It's a small thing, and may not have mattered, but names carry a lot of power.

  Presumably the authors that got lendink taken down are the same ones that hate libraries and used bookstores, and complain about lost sales. It's unfortunate that there are such authors, but what can you do?
