I am so happily surprised to now be in temporary possession of several hundred dollars worth of hard-to-replace Miracleman comics. alexx_kay is very trusting.

I'm very glad that the existence of a literate network of friends means that I only need to own a fraction of the media that I want to consume, with ad hoc distributed storage allowing for a sort of modern Alexandria effect.

We do, but I'm thinking on an even smaller, more closed-membership level, such as a group of friends. There wouldn't be dues, rental fees or membership cards, although there would be the requirement that everyone contribute equally to the purchase and upkeep of the materials. Ownership would be equal between the members, rather than residing with one central unit such as a library or store.
