Which just makes everything worse. I, too, wonder about library book sales. And library donations, for that matter. I used to be the librarian assigned to go through donations, to the tune of several hours a week just for my branch, and some of them got added to the collection, while most of them went to the library booksale. Library booksakes don't result in a huge amount of money, but they keep many, many Friends of the Library groups going. I can pretty much guarantee that having to come up with what amounts to a tax on books a library can sell at its booksale would do in the venerable, highly useful institutions that are Friends groups.
Someone ought to point out (broadcast, perhaps? loudly?) the anti-greenness of such a copyright change, as well. In the current political climate, that should sink it like a stone (sorry about the puns).
