Is it possible that every single good reason laid out in the argument for playing nice with public libraries is also exactly what makes the predators salivate when they see an easy, unguarded, source of income? Because they’re publicly funded, nobody feels particularly - by which I mean personally - hurt when they’re robbed blind. We can all feel aggrieved at it, but it’s just not the same thing as being mugged in the street. Maybe it’s not doing libraries any favours to draw attention to their vulnerabilities to robber barons in this way?
