Is that theft?

Question

New plan: you borrow the book from the library and read the whole thing, cover to cover. The author sees $0 from you. Then you write your review.

Accepted Answer

Libraries are a 2,000-year-old machine for reading books without paying the author, and we built statues to the people who funded them. One purchased copy, unlimited readers. Legal everywhere. (6% of Americans answer "Theft" — floor est.)
