Or, gee, folks will have to access the good stuff from reliable,
professional, government supported central clearinghouses--let's call them
libraries and media centers. What an idea, eh?
Is anyone surprised, really?

The individual or institution which fails to honor and support
viable libraries is simply not credible. For, a library, as a society, is
people, sharing in trust, for their mutual benefit and edification. The
naive who fail their libraries fail themselves.
'Nuff said.
