    So, if I go to a library, pick a book and start reading it, I am then free to completely copy it because I didn’t agree to any licensing?

        No, it doesn’t matter if the book is at a library or on my friend’s bookshelf, copyright law is literally the right to copy the thing. So if I make an illegal copy, I’m breaking copyright law. The “ToS” I’ve “agreed” to is the law of the country I’m in.
