I don't think...
...a request to 'opt in' is such a bad thing. You may not like it, but the copyright holders do indeed have some control over how their material is distributed. Note that exceptions to reproducing copyrighted material are explicitly spelled out in copyright law (for libraries and academic use, for example). Libraries don't have the right to treat the books they contain as their own personal property. Making a copyrighted book available electronically without the copyright holder's permission is not, in my opinion, 'fair use'.
