Interesting claim about crappy DRM. The libraries in this area use the same Adobe ADEPT DRM as those who are selling DRMed epub books. From a question a while back, American libraries lending Kindle books have them fulfilled by Amazon with the same DRM Amazon uses for their sales and loans.

As for LCP? I haven't seen any DRM removal tools for LCP but if it becomes popular, I suspect DRM removal tools will not be far behind.

So enquiring minds are eager to know exactly how do libraries have crappy DRM?
