This is a sad case you are describing, but not surprising.
There was a popular site in Greece, nothing to do with books, that was accused of pandering. The accusations were false, but that was for the court to decide. The first step of the police was to confiscate all the servers, and detain the webmaster. The webmaster is now free, but his whole computer equipment is still in the hands of the police, two years later. The trial has been postponed two times already.
Why I bring all this up: Is it maybe the case that the police has to act on any accusation, and then await trial? I would think the opposite would make more sense, but maybe not in urgent or dangerous situations. If that's the case, maybe the impromptu library will be found not guilty in the end.
What is certain is that there is still regrettably a huge void in the law about everything to do with the digital world, and sometimes even the police or the courts are at a loss on how to tackle the issues that arise.
