Some audiobook publishers are now making their library copies expire after so many checkouts. So in that case, you would be depriving them of the time value of their money for however long it takes the library to issue the book as many times as you would have otherwise checked it out again. justme, there's a huge difference between a mixed tape and giving a friend a book to read. There's only one copy of the book. While your friend's reading it, you're deprived of it. Once I've read a book I don't usually reread it. I also pass books along that I've purchased and read and my friends do the same thing. I also go to the library a lot because I'm cheap and would rather check out a free copy than buy one. I actually rarely buy books as my library has good selection. I alway bought my kids tons of books when they were little because little kids like to reread the books 80 million times. Now I get their books from the library (that is when I can get the oldset to actually read something that isn't mandated by the teacher...she is WAY TOO busy!lol)

Exactly, that's what makes it different from loaning a book...

Ahh, makes me miss the good old days of P2P file sharing before it became "illegal" I'm sure I put a lot of musicians out of business back then
