Just to stir the pot, I'm sure there are far more efficient ways of getting ebooks than deDRM'ing library books.
It's not a big thing, it may be an ultimate source but I doubt it accounts for more than...3% of the ultimate "pirate" ecosystem, if someone is doing it, it's someone who isn't very savvy and/or is limited by some other means.
Question tho, aren't we moving towards a time when all of this is hopefully going to be rendered irrelevant? Libraries are supposed to be, in my mind, repositories and holders of knowledge. Some kid making a copy of a book doesn't detract from that. Esp. if they have already read it.
Do libraries get new or rare ebooks regularly? Is there some reason that libraries would be considered attractive? Again, I'm not saying there isn't anyone doing it, I'm sure there are but it's got to be in the very low single digits and honestly I can't imagine why someone would go though the effort, personally.
Do libraries have a wide ebook selection?
Anyway, I'm not a fan of either copyright or DRM, and its better than some kid stealing the books, tho I can't judge anyone for doing that either.
