    is lending books same as piracy

    I have friend who owns a book publishing company and he sees lending books the same as you do content.

    Lending someone a book cuts down his sales bcuz most only read a book once so no chance of sale after free read.

    Do you borrow or lend books or DVDs? Do you consider this same as giving away your content?

          Lending physical books and disks is legal. Sharing them for free is legal too if you're doing it within the "immediate cirle of family and friends".

                  But does it hurt sales and one could use that analogy with a membership to a porn site.if I buy membership I can let my immediate friends n family login.

                      Well when you look at it from his view... Yes.

                      You purchase one... Its for you... Not to give away.... When we buy software we get one copy and if we need more we buy licebse for more.

                      If it was your product you might see it his way.

                              No you can't. But you can share with your buddies a flash drive with the movies you downloaded.

                                      No, they're "sharing" it with the entire world which is far from the "immediate circle of family and friends".

                                          The introduction of the computer killed the typewriter industry. Today we drive cars instead of a horse and buggy. Cell phones are running over the landline industry.

                                              Gotcha and I agree... off topic now though. This is about whether sharing ones product is similar to piracy.

                                              The simple debate could be yes if it butts sales it is the same. If someone gets your product without paying it is similar... if you own something you always feel the loss.

                                                          What if you have some friends over to watch a movie you just bought on DVD? Now the friends saw the movie and they don't have to buy it.

                                                          Lending books..... that's hard. We don't allow people to "lend" their passwords to other people. That said, if I have a book in my house and my GF wants to read it, of course she can. Same with watching my movies. There are no sales lost here because there is no way she would buy the same thing living under the same roof.

                                                          But your friends.... yea, that's difficult. You're not copying the book and giving or selling it away to many people, like what happens with normal piracy, but you are costing the seller one possible sale, maybe. But how many people lend books to lots of people? If I think of it like a password, I really don't care if a guy shares his password with ONE person. Big deal. But if he posts it online for everyone to have, then we have a problem. If I owned a book store, I'd probably feel the same way. Lend it to a friend, OK. Copy it and mass distribute it, you're a pirate.

                                                              But say the library staff went to Barnes & Noble and stole all their books, taking them back to their library so people can check them out. Then you don't have a legit library. In fact, if they got caught, they would all be arrested and the library closed. That's what you have with 99% of the tube sites, minus the legal stuff.

                                                                                                  Lending someone a book cuts down his sales bcuz most only read a book once so no chance of sale after free read.

                                                                                                  Do you borrow or lend books or DVDs? Do you consider this same as giving away your content?
                                                                                                  I don't know if you've thought of this...but there's a big difference between lending a physical book to your circle of friends and family, and sharing a file on the internet which can be downloaded by an unlimited number of people.

Lending hardcopies of books and disks, as well as reselling them (a hard copy) IS legal, it has been established in courts long ago. Yes is hurts sales but publishers have to swallow it because the law permits such things. But selling digital copies of books and disks is NOT legal, as well as sharing them free on an internet site.

If they only have one copy of War and Peace, 100,000 people can't walk into the library and all check out that book at the same time.

If you loaned out / sold / gave away your copy to one person then deleted it from your computer you would not get in trouble even if sued. Those laws have been there for a long time.

                                                                                                                                              but it really it is the same concept, the only difference is the scale...

                                                                                                                                              some people bring up the argument that it's legal in the physical world because only one person can use it at a time, but so what if lets say someone ran a tube site that allowed only one viewer to watch a given movie at a time? In that case there is one "copy" of the work, and only one person can enjoy it a time, making it no different than sharing physical media?

                                                                                                                                                  As in several other countries, here in the UK we have a thing called the Public Lending Right. PLR is a small pot of cash distributed annually to authors who have registered books that are loaned out via British libraries. This is compensation for sales lost to library loans. It's not a huge pot, and the disbursement is relatively small: it was 6.29 pence (£0.0629) per loan prior to February 2010, and there was a ceiling on payouts — both Terry Pratchett and J. J. Rowling stood to take home no more than £6600 each. To put it in perspective, the royalty an author receives for the sale of a £7.99 paperback is on the order of 60p, or the equivalent of ten loans under the scheme.

If you loaned out / sold / gave away your copy to one person then deleted it from your computer you would not get in trouble even if sued. Those laws have been there for a long time.

                                                                                                                                                                      Our library here loans out digital copies through an app called Overdrive. It's pretty awesome and there are waiting lists for some titles sometimes so there are limits on what they loan out.

The rental versions have the special features locked out among other things.

                                                                                                                                                                              Similar things with video games such as no online play with rental or used versions.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      Check this out

Shops who buy and sell/rent second hand games are taking money away from the people who make the games


                                                                                                                                                                                                      How next-generation consoles may eliminate the used gaming market

                                                                                                                                                                                                      While internal teams at Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo are all hard at work designing and revising new console hardware, at least one next-generation console manufacturer may implement a way to kill used game sales faster than digital downloads.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      Gaming publishers have already been fighting the used game market by locking content within the game until a a one-time use code is entered. This allows publishers like Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment to lock Catwoman’s single player narrative within Batman: Arkham City or Electronic Arts to require a code to enable the multiplayer portion of Battlefield 3. Any consumer that purchases a used copy of these games from retailers or other sources is at the mercy of the publisher in regards to the amount of additional money spent on digital codes.
