Unlikely.

The in-house scanning service at the Internet Archive (IA) differs from the licensing agreements entered into by other libraries. These agreements see libraries license ‘official’ e-book versions from publishers, who charge for every book that’s lent out to patrons.

Fair enough. Thanks for the clarity.

So it's not "unlikely" that it will fuck over libraries. It's already happened.
