I'm not comfortable faking an identity (and I certainly would not use my own info in connection with a fake ID number!).
The service isn't free for the library. I don't know Overdrive costs, but here in Sweden each book checkout is a cost of a couple of $$ for the library (book licensing and costs connected with the download procedure). My own library I contribute to with my taxes. FLP has a (very reasonable) fee of $35 that I'm happy to pay. Singapore Library has been very generous offering this service for free and I don't feel comfortable taking advantage of their generousity by faking my ID. But that's me...
It was nice while it lasted! I checked out some really interesting book on Buddhism that I wasn't able to find anywhere else for free last year. And a couple of current popular books has shorter waiting times than elsewhere, but I can't say I have used them (the library) a lot.
