EU Court of Justice rules libraries can lend e-books
From Ars Technica UK:

Quote:
Public libraries can lend out electronic books, the European Union's highest court has ruled.

The judgment confirms the opinion of Maciej Szpunar, advocate general to the the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), who said back in June that lending out e-books should be permitted in the 28-member-state bloc provided authors are fairly compensated in the same way as for physical books.
Press release on the ruling.
