alt Hacker News> But during covid archive.org decided to just remove the limit and lend unlimited copies concurrently
IIRC, this was 100% it. Lending one digital version of one physical asset was likely already a violation copyright. Lending UNLIMITED digital versions of one physical copy was DEFINITELY a blatant violation of copyright.

How is lending one digital version of one physical asset a violation of copyright? Since I MAY be able to lend out the physical as well?

Correct, it was switching to unlimited lending instead of one lend per physical book that got them in trouble.
