Indeed. Even if they lended you their copies, they'd add clauses to the lease contract banning you from creating copies. Similar to how China lends its pandas to zoos all over the world but any babies must be sent to China. Another example is museums which ban you from taking pictures of paintings that are already out of copyright. There is a story about someone who has taken pictures anyways and uploaded them to Wikipedia. The museum sued Wikipedia and the court ruled in favour of the museum: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reiss_Engelhorn_Museum#Wikimedia_lawsuit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reiss_Engelhorn_Museum#Wikimed...
