Re: About books (4.00 / 2)
After the DMCA was passed in the US there was a big push in Europe and in France on this topic, a trace here from an author who denounced the editor's request to sign a letter refusing free book lending in public libraries:

Mourir plus vite
Mis en ligne le jeudi 9 mars 2000.

Nos éditeurs nous sollicitent avec insistance pour signer une lettre, dont les auteurs ne sont pas à l'initiative : refuser le prêt de nos livres en bibliothèques tant que n'est pas instauré leur prêt payant.
[...]
Refuser le prêt de nos livres en bibliothèque, mais quel ridicule : juste comme vouloir mourir plus vite.
