> Libraries and books existed long before copyright.

There was even a period (ancient greece to middle-ages) where the very notion of "author" did not make much sense as books would get copied and augmented many times over by new copyists/contributors.

Kind of a sad that we lost this practice along the way, where a book was a living, evolving thing.
