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.

You've picked up your torch in Wendig's supposed anti-piracy mob to burn down every library everywhere. Congrats, dude, way to fight gamergate somehow?

(Oh, I didn't even mention possibly LIABILITY for every CDL program run by a library in the US. Good times!)

You reaaaaaaally need to take a step back and look at what you’re saying, but if you want to keep propping up strawmen and knocking them over, I’ll leave you to it. You don’t need me for that.
