Right but they are breaking weird dumb specific laws. They arent posting ebooks for free, they are specifically linking them to the number of physical copies they have on hand. Like lending your mate a copy of your own book. The issue seems to be whether they have the specific right to transform a physical book into a digital book for the purposes of lending. Its not the megaupload approach at all.

This lawsuit came about in very large part because Internet Archive stopped linking to physical copies on hand during covid. That was the straw that broke the camel's back.
