Imagine how many copyrighted books are in IRL libraries. Now imagine that IRL libraries can copy any book in any amount. Congrats, now you imagined what libraries in Europe can do.
Uhh what? I'm pretty sure libraries in Europe can't do that. Do you mean they can photocopy any book they own...?
Not sure how exactly it worked, but some time ago in Russia it was completely legal for library to copy book, but it seems now laws became more strict. Probably some member of United Russia got a shiny new yacht.
Russia is not necessarily representative of all European legal systems. E.g. they literally proposed legalising piracy of content made by western companies: https://ria.ru/20230622/blokirovka-1879702649.html
Out of all shit gosduma makes, this is the best thing they thought about.
Altenatively if you are pro strong copyright: make copyright inallianable and belonging ONLY to people who directly created stuff.
