This shouldn't be news but it is.
@PMPressOrg is actually selling its ebooks to @internetarchive so we can loan them out, one copy at a time thru #ControlledDigitalLending.
Most publishers make libraries lease ebooks, like a car.
So buying ebooks? 👍

@PMPressOrg Says @PMPressOrg Publisher Ramsey Kanaan: "The industry has entered into this agreement with libraries for time immemorial...I don’t see the difference in a library making a print or ebook available for borrowing once it’s purchased. It’s the same.”
@PMPressOrg 3/ Kanaan calls those opposing #ControlledDigitalLending "dinosaurs."
"We see the Internet Archive as a partner..to get our information out.
We’re fighting against the 1 percent who only want a better world only for themselves. I’m hoping..we're actually going to win this one.”
