So, lending a book to a friend is wrong? Or just doing that when your have more then x friends?
I'm genuinely not sure what you're saying here.
Yes, actually, I do. But the public benefits of libraries outweigh the harm it does to authors. But, the fact that I can buy a book once, and pass it between 50 friends to read feels unfair to the author who effectively makes no money off of the work.
