Copyright maximalists pretty consistently are glad to pirate stuff that isn't theirs when it is suddenly expedient to do so.
As with when the studios and labels push for legal anti-piracy measures, I call shenanigans.
This is not our first rodeo: when a ten-year-old girl downloads the latest release in her favorite literary series because she's too poor, and we no longer support our libraries to have current selections, no-one is going to want to prosecute the little girl who wants to read.
Well, maybe some billionaires might, but the media would have a field day with it.
