You have to go out and hire it. And you have to return it. And you can only hire it out if it's in stock at that time. Besides, you can hire CDs from libraries. Do libraries have to pay some sort of fee to the publisher to stock books? [/qb][/QUOTE]Of course not: that's my point. Use of library services is paid for by the state (via taxes to some degree) and the money is used to buy a limited number of books for widespread public consumption. Despite the obvious ease wich anyone could read a book or download a song. both industries are reporting record sales. [/QB][/QUOTE]
