      And I know that what happens is we take it personally when someone is saying that a thing we did, even for a really good reason that was apparent to us, is wrong. And in that moment you can feel shame, or anger, and a lot of people choose anger.

      I wish more people would embrace the healing power of feeling nothing at all. If it's not about you, don't make it about you. If it's not about you specifically, don't personalize it.

      I said in my first thread on this subject that we know there's never going to be 100% compliance. There's not even 100% agreement on what the limits of copyright vs. fair use are, and corporate money has badly skewed that one, sure.

      But if you love reading and/or you literally need a book (like for work or school) and you can't afford to support authors financially, I think the least you can do is support them emotionally. Like by not attacking them when they explain their fiscal realities.

      That's really all. Even if you think you're a radical crusader undermining the evil world of corporate publishing and that once you break the shackles authors will thank you, there's no reason to take time away from your crusade to attack the authors.

      No matter how much their tweets about cancelled serieses and books that had 20,000 fans and 200 sales feel like an attack on you personally, the author doesn't know you. There's no reason to make that introduction.

      I just. This same Discourse keeps going around with different precipitating incidents and it always goes the same. Download whatever you want! No one can stop you! But leaving taunting notes in your wake really undermines the "not a thief" narrative.

      I mean, if Jean Valjean had gone to the baker and said "I stole your bread and I'd do it again, you lazy leech. No one can stop me. I'll eat that whole wedding cake in the window. It took you how long? Uwu, cry more," I think we'd agree that's kind of a jerk move?

      I think people are confused because the Internet Archive DOES have a basket of free bread: It now manages Project Gutenberg’s digitized collection of books in the public domain. BUT... 1/2

      It also is a gateway to a bunch of online libraries that lend books in the traditional way, for a limited time. YES you “download” these books because reading in a browser is tedious. NO you don’t get to keep them. And you can only borrow 10 at a time.

      The point is that the "Open Library" portion of the IA has lifted all lending restrictions because of the virus outbreak

          Exactly: You still don’t get to keep the book. You are still limited to 10 loans at a time. The multiple-borrower provision expores when the emergency expires (please, let it be June).
