Off the top of my head, it seems like a great way to give access to content (games, movies, etc) to those that may have been able to afford it on their own. It may not have a ton of educational value, but some mindless entertainment goes a long way towards happiness sometimes. A happy citizenry is probably a societal benefit.

We don't need libraries for that tough, only more equitable laws that do not put the profits of hollywood and similar groups before society at large.
