I think (I'm not sure, libraries may not buy products this way) the difference is if the library buys, say, five hundred copies of the The Avengers, they didn't buy one copy and rip it so they could share it, they bought five hundred copies to share. The sellers don't care if you share five hundred purchases with thousands of people, they still made thousands of dollars. Compare that to the twenty bucks they made from Joe Pirate ripping his one copy for thousands of downloads.

I understand the butthurt companies feel over those numbers (though I'm of the opinion they were never going to see that money anyway).

Ah, I guess because to me where our library got most of it's books through donations/secondhand etc, it never occurred to me that a library would shell out serious money compared to any average joe, but I guess if it's a private owned or big city library that does buy everything new, it makes more sense, especially if they're buying multiple copies.

Yeah, I live in NYC, largest public library system in the country. They tend to buy a minimum of a hundred copies of most popular stuff. They accept donations, too, but serving millions of people, they can't rely on it.

Haha, until last year I lived in a town of 10,000 so whenever we actually got a brand new book at the library I always did a happy dance that it wasn't all wrinkled/marked up. XD
