Good point--the more I think about that divide angle, the more it makes sense. (And I should have thought of software too, considering that I have friends in the industry who complain about this from time to time.)
Not that I would ever want to give up libraries, but I suppose this idea is also encouraged by the fact that we can check out books and videos (and in some places CDs) for free, and that so many books, etc. and so much software is available for free online.
