I haven\'t read anything recently about sell-on rights in regard to books i.e. secondhand selling. There is already (longstanding) provision for this under copyright law. Without it, selling secondhand books (still under copyright) would be illegal. I didn\'t think anything had changed. What are people contesting? Really?

I think the copyright issue hits closer to home (and in relation to Tolkien, too) - for example there have been a lot of court cases worldwide the past few years dealing with used books (who owns them, and are you allowed to resell them? Should the author get compensated? What about e-books?) and in general, I was particularly empathetic to the way the film portrayed the closure of bookstores.

In respect to books, we're conflating two separate things though: books as objects & books as the repositories of information. They can be both, clearly; but people are really debating/speculating on the future format of books, not whether books (or the novel) will still be around. I don't think the latter is in any danger of disappearing, at all. Evidence (in the UK) suggests we're buying/consuming books more than ever. But will the codex continue as the format of delivering this information? Yeh, I suppose this is very much up in the air.
