@julien51.eth I came across this article and got to wondering if Unlock Protocol could work as a digital media lending protocol to eliminate public libraries' reliance on OverDrive. https://www.libraryjournal.com/story/could-kkrs-ownership-of-overdrive-raise-questions-about-simon-schuster-purchase

Or would DRM get in the way? It seems a shame that there's not an open lending protocol for public libraries, such that anyone could build a client app on top of that protocol.

I think so yes!
