Oh I have done the research, and the IA assumed rights it didn’t have, and that libraries don’t traditionally have either (you can’t go to a physical library and ask them to print out an entire copy of the book for you to keep forever).

Not even close to what I said and, I say this sincerely, you can go fuck yourself for putting words in my mouth. CDL is a “controlled” lending, which is not even remotely close to what the IA was engaged in. You want to talk about do your research? How about you hit the books.

You want to mob up for piracy and go after someone just because it’s the Daily Hate? Go fucking right ahead, but don’t expect me to let it pass by without saying something.

Wendig kicked off his own mob painting the Internet Archive as pirates. It's disappointing that you can't see that.

What they were doing *was* piracy. There was no control on what they were lending. Wendig wasn’t speaking out against CDL, he was speaking up about a site that flat out ignored what it means for an artist’s work to be freely reproduced with no limits.

Except for all the controls on what they were lending, like the fact that they only lent books they had physically in their stacks and the ability to opt-out.

What in the actual fuck are you talking about. The whole point of this thing was that they removed their lending limits to create their National Emergency Library. Are you even aware of the facts of what’s going on?

Yes. The problem is that all of these arguments apply equally to loaning one ebook at a time as five ebooks at a time.

No, they really don’t. “Controlled” lending is just that. You control how many copies go out. “Uncontrolled” lending, which, again, is what the IA was doing, is piracy.

There’s debates to be had over how many ebook versions should be able to be lent out per physical copy owned, but “infinity” is not the answer if you want artists to be able to keep creating work.

The problem, of course, being that you cannot actually control the number of copies of an electronic file. Publishers (and authors!) have long been arguing that CDL isn't actually controlled, and thus isn't actually legal.

And, indeed, this lawsuit is likely to end CDL programs entirely, for every library everywhere, if it is successful.
