The problem is the transition from analog to digital. It is entirely legal, for an entity to buy a physical book, and then loan those books out, aka a library. That entity is free to charge money, or might even be a part of the local government. But see, copyright is a thing that was invented in the first place. Why should it even exist in the first place? Of course we can't argue with the fact that the world we are in has copyright, but in countries where there is less copyright protection, it doesn't seem like the sky has fallen there either. We want to promote science and useful arts and incentivize creation. It's supposed to be a temporary monopoly granted by the government before works fall into the public domain. Originally 14 years, with another 14 years if the author was alive. We should absolutely do what we can to encourage science and the arts, but Disney's managed to take it way further than it was originally specified for.
