Having worked in a library and bookstore, it's not that simple - Reserved books are not in outside circulation, in the first place, they're always behind the desk, at least for the duration of the class they're reserved for, but can be checked out -in- the library, by anyone. Books on Hold are generally also not in circulation but ,most of the time they're on hold, they're not in the library because somebody else has them out, when the book is returned, then it's diverted from reshelving and the person who requested the hold is notified, and has a few days to get the book. Finding (God help you if it's misshelved) and pulling physical books because a digtal copy has been checked out is a whole new level of both monitoring circulation, pulling, and reshelving and storage.
Yes, but what does "the hard copy is no longer available" actually mean? Does it mean that some librarian needs to go to the stacks, and pull the physical copy and place it out of circulation, so nobody can read it, even -in- the library? (and of course return it to the stacks when the digital copy is "returned") Or does it mean that if someone goes to check out the physical book while the digital copy is out, that they'll be denied permission to do so at the desk?

Looking at the other end of the transactions.
Regardless of their alleged constitutional right to sell scraped data to cops, the police do not have a constitutional right to -buy- it.
After all it’s not like the police -have- to pay for the data clearview has when they can just get a court order for it.
Oh Good
Finally someone will listen to the complaints from Tumblr users who's posts and blogs were censored.
