What are your thoughts on borrowing DVDs from a local library?

It's interesting that even though technology advances and public options could evolve with them, people are still expected to jump through archaic hoops. Even if there needs to be a quota for lending, that could be handled digitally too.

The way media companies act today, if libraries weren't already a thing, they would not allow them to be invented.

Agreed, we definitely could not make libraries today if they were not already around.

Oh. Well that's a bummer.
