So you're saying that the difference between libraries and pirates just comes down to "the law says so", not for any moral/ethical distinctions?

The law (as you/others have made me aware) allows them to loan paper books without agreement/fee, so they do. It does not however allow them to loan ebooks without a agreement/fee, so they either don't loan them, or they make the agreement.

Actually, nobody really knows what would happen if a library tried loaning ebooks without an agreement/fee.
