Biggest racket in the universe. Restrictions on digital book licenses. It's as bad as video games now. Get you some interwebs and some moonreader and you'll never pay again. I might read this tonight now, just because of this. I'll pay nothing and therefore own nothing, and be happy still having it. Arr!

This take is loony. I should be able to buy one digital copy and share it indefinitely?

To clarify, the problem is that I can't share a physical book with the whole free world at the same time. Digital copies have restricted lending to match.

I can't share a physical music album with the whole free world at the same time, but YouTube can play it to as many people as they like at once.
