I think that libraries and downloading are in direct opposition because many downloaders seem to be doing it because of their collector's gene. Having to return the books means they can't collect. Seems like the big downloaders have no intention of ever reading the stuff. They just want to have it.
Huh! I've never encountered that, and the idea of collecting something that's not physical seems deeply weird to me. But people are deeply weird, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised!
