New This reminds me of a quote from Billy Bragg.
...which I shall paraphrase terribly from a recent copy of the Big Issue.

It's only the rich musicians who are complaining about Napster - and has it made any of them poor? When public libraries were introduced, you didn't see Random House go around trying to burn them down...

That was the gist of his quote anyway, will put the proper one in if I remember.
On and on and on and on,
and on and on and on goes John.

New About the libraries
The great author Dennis Wheatly in one of his books bitterly denounced the idea that a new authors advance was so pitiful because they would only sell enought to stock the libraries to see if he could get a following. His thought that the books should be rented, not lent. Funny BlockBuster has the same idea:)thanx,
