But everybody knows what a library is and grassroots booksharing (aka drop off your old paperbacks in an agreed upon public place) is already a thing, so maybe not a dystopia?
Also, buying books second hand is incredibly easy and cheap. And buying a license for an ebook is incredibly convenient and also tends to be rather cheap.

This has been a thing for decades, nobody cares. It doesn't scale to a size that warrants their attention.
Not that there's much the publishing industry could do about it if they wanted to. Apart from leaning stronger into ebooks, where people can't do this. But as it stands that'd mean giving Amazon even more power and money.

#8What we need is a library that focuses only on out of print out difficult to get books. We don't need Harry Potter and likes on it. There are a million legal/illegal ways to get them.

At this point publishers should just revoke the licenses to all physical books and burn them, so we can prevent this kind of rampant copyright abuse.

Hmm well, the Library of Alexandria is millennia older… but I guess it didn’t lend boox?
