[Libs-Or] Harper Collins issue?

[Kathleen Veldhuisen]

The item Gary Sharp posted (below) mentions a Youtube video showing that
Harper Collins printed bestsellers last much longer than 26
circulations. Careful! Harper Collins will start manufacturing flimsier
paper books as well.

Hello Jennifer,

I'm sure it has to do with recent news reports that Harper Collins wants
to restrict U.S. libraries from circulating its e-book titles only 26
times.  Here's a link to one of the news accounts:

I guess I wonder what about this question has to do with Harper Collins?
And then, what is she interested in knowing - how is media purchased?
How is it checked out?  How is it made accessible?

There is very little commonality within a single type of media, much
less among different types of media. Is she asking about feature films,
educational films?  Playing music from CD, subscribing to services,
gaining database access to films? Playing audio books from CD or on
players?  there are lots of possibilities here.  I am on a couple of
media listservs and there are often more questions than answers.  And I
didn't even mention copyright issues...

Could you gain more clarification on the question?
