Theft

[threemonkeys]

It is Monday morning. In fact, here it is the Monday morning after daylight saving kicks in. Everything is running a bit slowly. Caffeine does not seem to do the trick.

So how about something to make the blood boil. Have a read of this article by Brian Edwards in which he argues that public libraries are a form of theft.

Before you ask, yes he is serious. Are you awake now?

Classic example of someone who starts from a perfectly reasonable position (the authors fund provides inadequate compensation) and throws in some shock words to make people sit up. And doesn't do himself any favours in the process.

FWIW, this isn't the first time he has advanced the libraries are theft proposition. I remember him ranting about it years ago when he used to do the Saturday morning radio show that Kim Hill does these days.
