Yes, but it's still not hurting the library. I'm not saying it's a good thing, just that the library doesn't suffer any dire consequences, as the poster I was responding to seemed to think.
Edited to add:
I've seen a notice "Attributor Protected" on some library books lately. Even after Googling it, I'm not too clear on what it means. I haven't yet come across it on a book I've purchased, so I don't know if it interferes with stripping DRM.
