Enough to outthink sobriquet, which doesn;t take much.

Not quite I've never seen an internet library lend a book.
Books are physical things like CD/DVDs .
Did you download the hardback book ?

That's because they never actually take it.
But even if they do download it, there can still be a cost involved.
Just having someone at the internet library maintaining the computer
is a cost

'If' they are digital, books aren't digital they can come in a digitsl form.
They can come on DVDs/CDs even cassettes, even HDs and iPads.

haven;t you heard about the problems Google is having by claiming that all
unknown works belong to the company that scans them in rather than the
original author.

There are audio books too, you can download, the terminology is to
read them, even if you don't or can't read you can still say you've read the
book.
Note these are audio books in that they a read and you listen, rather than
downloadable books that you read with your eyes (not your ears).

Point proven. If you think you should obey only the laws that you like, you
should move to an island with others here who think laws are made for
others.

"Laws" are only someone's opinion. And no matter if even 5 billion people
agree to that opinion, it doesn't mean it is right nor correct for 100% of
the population. It just means that that's the majority opinion, nothing
more. When is the majority ever right?

"Shall we judge the country by the majority or by the minority? Certainly,
by the minority. The mass are animal, in a state of pupilage, and nearer
the chimpanzee." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Your slavish mentality and uncritical attitude towards authority is
exactly what allowed the NSDAP in former Nazi Germany to exterminate
unwanted minorities on an industrial scale, while the rest of the
population were generally happy to cooperate. If more people called
their laws into question when they started out with relatively subtle
human rights violations, to marginalize and criminalize certain
minorities, things would never have spiraled out of control the way
they did.
