This dead-book dustup is the lastest in a legal cosmology that adds to the universe of the Authors Guild, Inc v. Google, Inc suit from 2013-2015, Elsevier et al. v. Sci-Hub et al suit in 2015, the personal and legal attacks on Aaron Swartz, Alexandra Elbakyan, and others, and continued into the present reality, with the continued expansion of on-line ebook/pdf knowedge archives without respect to any national copyright regulation.
Pay attention to this one.
