Seems like it was over a year ago that there was talk about restricting access...seems like it was pressure from the publishers on Overdrive. It's a vague memory, but I'm sure it was all discussed here, so you could try searching.
Even libraries that formed consortiums to share the costs were stopped from buying certain publishers. And for some reason, I think part of the discussion involved UK libraries using Overdrive as well.
Up until then there were more libraries that allowed the purchase of out-of-state access, but many shut it down. I was always surprised these last holdouts still did allow it.
