So you want to change the law... how?
Right now, it's legal for me to buy a book and lend it to people; but it's illegal of me to buy a single book, and make copies of that book and lend them to people.
Do you really think I should be allowed to buy a single copy of a book, and then give out unlimited copies of that one book for everyone to read?
Times are hard enough for writers as it is.
