It wouldn't be bizarre if libraries were for-profit ventures. However, society has decided that a local repository of a wide selection of books freely available to the public is a worthwhile expenditure of tax dollars.
That is because knowledge should be free to anyone anytime. I think the Internet is just alike.
Compare it to a library. Lots of people have a library card but use it seldom. A few are hooked and try to read every book in the library. The "Book Producing Association of America" (lets call them BPAA) now starts complaining that these people are ripping them off and should buy the books instead. The consumers believe the lie that they are paying for the habits of this small group. The libraries then respond with the rule that you can lend 10.000 pages (books) a year but should pay $1 for every 1000 additional pages. Wouldn't that be bizarre?
