If lending had exceeded the number of available purchased/physical copies, then it wouldn't be "working around", it would be "violating" copyright law But wouldn't it be up to the claimant to show this actually happened? So far I have seen no credible evidence for this claim.

  Where? I completely agree with IA's argument that the emergency library was legal, but even they say that it temporarily removed the 1-1 lending ratio on books.

    They removed the software limitation, but say that the number of books lent never actually exceeded the number of books their partners had.

      Where? The judgment says that the number of books loaned never exceeded the amount out of circulation due to the pandemic, but it does not say it never exceeded the 1-1 ratio.
