Yes, "copy at will" is what "distribution" means.
You can transfer ownership of
the copy you purchased to anyone you like, but you cannot reproduce it an unlimited number of times unless you have permission from the rights-holder.
The reason I made that statement is because Wizwor is intentionally conflating "library lending" and "piracy" in order to advance his anti-library stance. I happen to find this rather amusing, given that almost everyone on these boards is pro-library (including me), and a significant number of people are not incensed by piracy.
