To this point, content companies hate libraries, but they can't do anything about it because of the doctrine of first sale. But that's why there were huge public media campaigns decrying any kind of recordable media. Libraries could acquire all this content, and anybody could go to the library, check out a piece of content, and make a copy. This is also why in the world of objects that only exist digitally, libraries are having such a hard time with digital lending. Content companies don't have to play ball when they own the devices on which lending takes place.
