When will the Recording Industry Association of America finally be able to convince a judge that libraries pose the greatest threat to the recording companies' incomes and force us to turn over patron borrowing records?
What will the investigator say when Patron Doe checks out some music only to return it the next day?
"Why, one day isn't enough time to fully enjoy the mellifluous tones of golden-throated Barry Manilow; I believe this scoundrel ripped that CD!"
I became a librarian partly to avoid becoming a criminal because I can do only two things well: find information, and find ways into CIA network servers. And if I'm going to jail for a crime, you can bet it's going to be that cushy federal prison for white collar criminals and not some lousy jail for librarian copyright violators. So when the shit hits the fan, I'm turning you in. I'm turning you all in!
