      I strongly doubt that is happening.

      For this to be the case, they would have had to loan out more copies than are currently unusable in libraries AND the loan needs to be done in lieu of a purchase. There are 1 million books on there, the odds of that happening in substantial amounts is exceedingly low.

      It's not really the sales from the next few months that are at issue, it's the IA flexing their untested legal doctrine that "fair use" means they can unilaterally create and alter digital licenses with no input from the rightsholder

      You can do that. You've always been able to do that. Librarians do that all the time. They work with IA to do that. This is an ambitious use but it's for an extraordinary situation. I don't see publishers or authors meeting the need so libraries have to.

      Like where is the explosion of temporary free e-books as one to one replacements for the unusable physical books? Who are the publishers and authors making that happen?

      Please tell me Arthur. What are the consequences in years to come if we decide that libraries don't need to function at any decent level of service during disease outbreaks? Tell me about the people suffering there and how they're being served.

      I am always going to instinctively side with producers over consumers in these disputes, ESPECIALLY when what we're talking about isn't academic publishing but entertainment

      Yeah, everyone's suffering, broke authors are suffering a lot too Maybe now is a good time for people who can afford it to reach into their wallets and buy a bunch of shit they'd been meaning to just read in the library when they got around to it

      There are a ton of authors who have made ebooks available for free or on deep discounts based on what THEY think THEY CAN AFFORD It isn't anyone's place to make the decision for them

          Oh my God. Their books have already been bought. We need a temporary digital copy for libraries in lieu of the unusable physical copy. You're using libraries closing down because or COVID-19 as stimulus program. They don't have the money

          Nobody "needs" the books to be available right fucking now, especially not science fiction or romance novels They WANT them to be available, and that's not the same thing
