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?

I think the point is that the DRM libraries use is so easily stripped and they’re free to get. So pirates are getting something for nothing.
I don’t really agree with this since it only takes a single purchase and literally everyone on the planet could in theory have the book so that embargo isn’t going to do anything to curb piracy. And I think that at least internally the publishers are aware that piracy is probably not the largest factor in the losses.
I’m also still solidly in the embargo camp for other reasons
