We're talking about the functionality of their ebook service. There is no way in hell homeless people sleeping in the library makes the ebook service worse. Please, show me the press release or e-mail where OverDrive said "we're removing title wishlist notifications and selling ourselves to a private capital firm because you're a homeless shelter, not a library."
Also, the "free market solution" would have been to just let the libraries offer ebooks on their site. Digital distribution gutted libraries' ability to provide their core service, because now they need permission and licensing to do so. Homeless people using libraries as makeshift shelters isn't new, you just never noticed it back when everyone was using libraries.
