Are you referring to the situation in the UK / Ireland? While it is true that, in practice, many publishers deposit their publications with all six libraries without waiting for a claim to be made, there is no such obligation, strictly speaking.

"Each deposit library other than the British Library Board is entitled to delivery ... of a copy of any work published in print which it requests ..."

See Legaldeposit.org.uk for details.

Nevermind.
