I've borrowed hundreds of CD from the different public-city-libraries I've been the past 15 years. In France you're allowed to make private copy of books and CDs :)
There's no way any public library near me has more than 10% of what I listen to currently. They have famous bands and mainstream albums from my country and that's it. I hate most of it.
Really? We have Privatkopie, and last I checked CD Audio was not considered copy protection. You (indirectly, via the manufacturer) already pay a fee to GEMA for every device or data storage media that can be used to make them with the assumption you will. Do it.
Unless you thought libraries were a euphemism for torrents.
> Das Gesetz trat am 1. Januar 2008 in Kraft.[7] § 53 Abs. 1 S. 1 UrhG wurde geändert, so dass Privatkopien nicht zulässig sind, sofern zur Vervielfältigung „eine offensichtlich rechtswidrig hergestellte oder öffentlich zugänglich gemachte Vorlage“ verwendet wird.
the last sentence says that no public sharing is allowed for copyrighted works
doesn’t matter if the distributor is a library or a torrent
