    In the article it said they were lending to one user at a time though which seems reasonable. You are saying they didn’t actually do this and that is the reason they are in hot water? So they are basically just denying that they did this?

      I’d like to see evidence of what the original poster on this thread says before trusting what they are saying. I haven’t seen this be the case at all.

      “We purchase and acquire books—yes, physical, paper books—and make them available for one person at a time to check out and read online”

        Again, mostly just parroting what I’ve seen others say, but my understanding is that they relaxed the restriction around when COVID started, though in the eyes of the law that’s not really a good reason to break that particular rule.

        I respect the scepticism though, definitely take everything I’m saying with a huge grain of salt.
