Do Libraries Need Permission To Lend Out Ebooks?; Techdirt, 10/16/09

Mike Masnick, Techdirt; Do Libraries Need Permission To Lend Out Ebooks?:

"Some publishers are refusing to allow libraries to lend out their ebooks...which makes me wonder why the publishers have any say in the matter. Thanks to the right of first sale, a library should be able to lend out an ebook if it's legally purchased it without having to get the publisher's permission."
