<font face="DejaVu Serif">Hi, All:<br>
<br>
What an interesting conversation! And how interesting, that <i>no
one has mentioned public libraries!</i><br>
<br>
Would you argue for the <i>closing</i> of all public libraries?
Or, merely that they <i>stop offering free public access</i> to
books, movies, music and newspapers that also are for sale?<br>
<br>
If those actions sound wrong (as they do to me), why <i>not</i>
establish at least one independent public library on the <i>public
Internet?</i> And/or, have the NYC Main Public Library, MIT, et
al, put <i>their</i> goodies online?<br>
<br>
Note: Our town's public library already offers e-books online - to
as many concurrent borrowers as it has paid-for copies.<br>
