If we didn't have libraries then I'm sure they'd be banned by a
consortium of greedy media companies. My local library can buy
a copy of a movie and loan it out, which is perfectly legal with
copyrighted material. Unfortunately, most of the US doesn't have
good local libraries that can afford to stock a wide selection
of DVDS.
BUT some/many/most/all local libraries can request materials from other
libraries. It may take a while, but it's possible. Our library loans
passes to State Parks, hotspots, chromebooks, e-books and other stuff
that I don't know about in addition to books, DVDs and CDs.
There is also the world-renown free public Internet library, whose goal,
based on what they write, it to make every book possible available to you.

I just tried that. It turns out that it's useless to me, for three
reasons:

1. I looked for a couple of well-known books. They didn't have them.

2. When I found one, the book displays on my desktop's screen. That's
not what I want. I want a kindle book that I can read on my phone.

3. It says "Borrow ends at 8:06am." I read pretty fast, but an hour
isn't enough.
