But I can borrow ebooks from other public libraries.
Is there something specific about IA or is this ruling making the concept of epub borrowing a copyright infringement (in the US)?
- boomboomsubban 4y agoThis ruling says controlled digital lending is copyright infringement. Some other libraries use controlled digital lending, but most use a different system. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controlled_digital_lending https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controlled_digital_lending
- samsonasu 4y agoPublic libraries pay a different, greater license fee for ebooks they can lend vs physical books . The licenses also come with restrictions about number of lends, time limits, etc. https://www.forbes.com/sites/ellenduffer/2019/01/30/libraries-speak-out-about-e-book-costs/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/ellenduffer/2019/01/30/librarie...
