    That’s called stealing. And that book they claim to have read says that’s a no no.

    Also your library will just buy more copies. Which means your taxes will go up to pay for the missing books.

      Lolno. Libraries are getting funds cut. They will not buy a new copy, it will become unavailable, then those that would go to a library to borrow it no longer can, so they find it online, and the right can say “see? Nobody goes to libraries anyways”.

        Our libraries send an invoice to the people who have unpaid dues.

        And they can’t loan anything before the dues have been paid.

        Might even go to collections if you’re enough of an ass
