KaZaa does not "lend" out the music. It allows people to make copies of copyrighted material. Try copying a book from Clancy or King, making it available for anyone online to download, see if you get sued.

Well first King has sold some books directly off the internet. Second transfering a paperback or hardback book to the internet would be so time consuming (is will take at least half a day using a PC scanner for a short 100 plus page book) that it would not be worth it.

My library lends out music CDs. Copyrighted ones. That is absolutely the same concept as what KaZaa does. It's OK for government agencies but not individuals?
