You really don’t understand the difference between “lending” and “stealing,” do you? Libraries don’t buy a book and then photocopy it for every person who wants to read it.

... yes. They totally do, that's a perfectly normal thing people do in libraries all the time.

Jesus, I thought you were smarter than that. You really don’t understand the difference between lending and stealing, do you? You can photocopy *sections* of a book. If you photocopy the whole book, that is copyright infringement.

The world you think you’re fighting for is one where only rich people make art, and I don’t know how you can’t see that.

The Internet Archive didn't do that. Hell, even the Pirate Bay didn't do that. Macmillan, Penguin/RH, Hachette, HC, and S&S did that. And people like Wendig writing nice just-so stories about how they're justified in doing that, that's the reason you're blaming anyone else.

So let me get this right. You think that, in a society where when something is created, the creator loses all rights to profit from what they’ve made, you think in THAT society that anyone other than the independently wealthy are going to be able to create things?

Look at you, wailing about how the existence of libraries is "losing all rights to profit from what you've made."

Not the fuck at all what I said, and you really need to stop putting words in my mouth if you want me to take you seriously. Libraries COMPENSATE CREATORS. What the IA did, DOES NOT.

The IA is sharing books it bought legally. What it did not do is pay per lend. Something publishers desperately want but would completely bankrupt every lending library.

Oh I can’t wait to see how many books get written when authors get paid a $40 one time fee. Remember how I said you’d turn the domain of art into the sole playground of the rich? Because that’s what you’re doing.

And until we live in magical space communism, people need to get paid for their work. Hell, I could easily write books and release them for free. You know why I don’t? Because it’s not fair for other people who don’t have access to my resources and rely on writing to survive.
