I was looking for a certain textbook for my class and then I saw that the place I normally go was out. How can that be? It’s not a physical thing you’re giving me, it’s 1s and 0s. I sure hope there’s a way I can blame the capitalists for this.

Libraries do this as part of their licensing agreements for digital copies (they only have so many uses, too, the idea being that physical books don’t last forever, either, so the library has to buy then again). Are you trying to buy it or borrow it?
