You can’t make this stuff up. Oh, wait. Yes you can.

Public Library to File Lawsuits Against Copy-Machine Pirates:

“The Comanche County Public Library announced yesterday it will file its first wave of lawsuits later this month against those it alleges are illegally photocopying copyrighted books, joining the music industry in its fight against piracy.”

“The Anal-Retentive Librarian Association of America, which represents major Hollywood libraries such as the Tom Selleck Memorial Library and the Pepsi-Viacom-Tostitos Book Depository, plans to file about 200 suits against elementary age book readers who put illegally obtained quotes from protected books to use in their reports and essays where others can read them for free!”
