Controlled Digital Lending is a fraud that helps book publishers monopolize the library culture by artificially making an abundant resource scarce. It also helps software publishers to monetize the library culture.<p>By now we should have already built a global repository where all digital books ever published or digitized from physical copies should have been available to anyone with internet access, just like W3C specifications.<p>It's a shame that we are moving in this opposite direction without realizing what lies ahead ... walls and more walls.
