Pot & kettle
IA notorious for loaning copyright scanned books without agreement or royalty payment and also free downloads of copyright material.
I'd even bet a lot of the stuff the IA adds DRM to is scanned or uploaded copyright material and then loaned without making any agreement or paying any royalty.
Now where did I put the flea sized violin?
Does the IA create or license ANY content? Clue in the name.
Simply they should stop hosting copyright material. The IA has no legitimate need for DRM.
But no-one should be removing DRM from IA content or downloading it at all as that's mostly illegally shared/acquired content. So I have no sympathy for the parties on Git making these tools either even though I opposed to DRM except for library loans. No PD or purchased material should ever have DRM.
