npub1psdfxfpxz2cwmmnsk60y3nqpn2tqh9n24h4hstvfkwvr6eaek9js499sr7 (npub1psd…9sr7) npub10f7altk2v7lhffhhtw60568fl9gfgpgas8yg87fe4p2yty9vjfhscy69j0 (npub10f7…69j0) I agree that things might be better if authors were paid when their ebooks are loaned — although I'm not 100% sure why ebook loans and not printed book loans should result in a payment.
But what for sure IS happening is that libraries are paying "publishers" a butt-ton for access to ebooks. So if none of that money is making its way to the authors, who is your enemy? Not the libraries. The content-monopolization organizations known for historical reasons as publishers.
