aye, but if you borrow the book, you are bound to return it by the fees and rules there-in. you cant borrow an mp3, which is the point i was making.

That's right. However the analogy still fails, because by borrowing a book from a library you are eliminating a situation in which someone else can borrow that same book. Not so with a mp3. Take a a really thin book, use the library's copy machine to make a copy and then see if anyone carese to track and charge late fees for the copy you just made.
