There's no way of distributing a digital copy legally unless direct from the publisher or with their express consent. And the only people they're going to give that to are companies that riddle it with DRM.

Ultimately this ruling could also affect physical media and physical libraries. One of the arguments is that libraries allow individuals to consume content without royalties being paid as would be if that individual purchased a copy. Where we are going to get into difficulty is where a work is out of print and there is no legal way to purchase it first hand (they want second hand sales of media criminalised too for the same reason as the lending of media, no royalty payment).

I remember video game companies went in heavy regarding loaning of games to the point they boycotted stores such as Blockbuster Video or if they couldn't do it, they did like The Lion King did on 16-bit systems, made the second level so hard it dissuaded people from loaning and nudged them to purchase the game.

Every media has a warning that loaning is prohibited. They want everyone to purchase an individual copy for themselves.

If you want an idea of where things will go, see the control and prices for peer reviewed papers. The publishers want to gatekeep and paywall the exchange of ideas and information.
