That only applies to HarperCollins and its imprints. More and more, the Big 6 are cracking down and restricting ebook lending. Macmillan and Simon & Schuster don't allow ebook lending at all, Hachette and Penguin don't allow frontlist ebook titles to be loaned out, HarperCollins has the 26x rule for ebook lending, and now Random House is starting to prohibit ebook lending from libraries that reciprocate and provide cards to non-residents.

And this is going to prevent piracy? These publishers don't have their heads screwed on straight.
