Unlikely.

The in-house scanning service at the Internet Archive (IA) differs from the licensing agreements entered into by other libraries. These agreements see libraries license ‘official’ e-book versions from publishers, who charge for every book that’s lent out to patrons.

So it’s not “unlikely” that it will fuck over libraries. It’s already happened.
