What a strawman!

Depending on how they got the deal with the library, and how much they get compensated for that, yes it is.




What do you mean “the deal with the library”? What deal are you referring to? Libraries does not make individual deals with publishers or authors. They buy the books at market price and pay authors some additional royalties determined by objective criteria according to an agreement with the organization for authors and illustrators. It is all public information.

If you want to make an accusation of corruption you need to be more specific.
