Still, you now understand the publishers’ logic. The publisher doesn’t care who buys the replacement, only that they get some revenue from it.

Libraries argue similarly that the wear-and-tear model is miscalibrated, but they are in a weak negotiating position.

I mean, from where i'm sitting the logic is "how can we extract as much revenue as possible", with the wear and tear argument being post hoc justification.
