My thoughts are publishers won't be interested in suing such a library. Courts would be lenient and public support stronger. But once you start sharing bestsell

  15-20 years ago, I would have agreed with you. Now I absolutely disagree. The primary thing keeping them from suing would have been the optics of the situation: Suing the local library or the small group trying to keep knowledge alive would look bad. That's less of a factor now, and suing the small guys in order to ram through judicial precedent they can wield like a cudgel later would be too tempting.
