But it's a weak ace. To me, this sounds like the Nuclear option. Haven't libraries sunk large amounts into their licenses. Going back to paper books, their licenses would be revoked, and would require a huge reinvestment in paperbooks (and rebuying ebooks again when they want to start lending ebooks again).
