    Just like regular libraries have copyrighted books: they lend them to one person at a time.

      They definitely weren’t monitoring the one at a time rule… I downloaded the file and now have it forever

          How does that make sense? How does putting a “Download PDF” button on their site with no restrictions make this a “me” problem?

            You should obviously delete those downloaded files like a good boy.
