Ideally, of course nobody would sign something they don't understand. The problem is that in this case, it's really hard to spot that you don't understand it. Because it looks obvious--of course you can't let people without library cards check out e-books---but it's not.

I think that may be intentional, since it's decidedly to Overdrive's advantage that the libraries not understand it, of course.

At the very least, large amounts of public attention paid to this can ensure that present victims--oh, I guess that should be "customers"--and future marks--ah, right, that should be "libraries"--do understand it, which can only be a good thing.
