Reply to comment by peanutmilk in Publishers beat Internet Archive as judge rules e-book lending violates copyright by thawingSumTendies

The issue here was that libraries aren't able to own these books though because publishers refuse to sell them the digital copies.

Personally, I think IP law as written was on the publishers' side here (for better or worse), but the issue is that libraries are being left in a fundamentally different position in terms of e-books than they were with physical copies.

We can agree that the law is bad but we then need to first change the law. We can't just break laws that we disagree with
