So we should just charge to borrow books from the library?
The issue here is corporations use publicly built infrastructure (library) to sell us (books) and then they stock it full of Random House rather than Penguin books because they own Random House and Penguin books, while more popular, eat Random Houses' profit margins. The library forces the issue by stocking mostly Random House books, and as such you may get only Random House opinions as opposed to Penguin books. Penguin books becomes less popular because it is not as available, Random House wins and owns your Library.
So yeah, the Internet is a Miracle and selling it to the highest bidder is "fucking it up".
