      So if the IA owned all the copies, then this isn't an issue?

      It makes me genuinely sad that during a time of national crisis, book publishers (and some authors) seem to only care about their own profits.

      I strongly doubt that is happening.

      For this to be the case, they would have had to loan out more copies than are currently unusable in libraries AND the loan needs to be done in lieu of a purchase. There are 1 million books on there, the odds of that happening in substantial amounts is exceedingly low.

      It's not really the sales from the next few months that are at issue, it's the IA flexing their untested legal doctrine that "fair use" means they can unilaterally create and alter digital licenses with no input from the rightsholder

      You can do that. You've always been able to do that. Librarians do that all the time. They work with IA to do that. This is an ambitious use but it's for an extraordinary situation. I don't see publishers or authors meeting the need so libraries have to.

      No, nobody "has to", unless the books in question contain lifesaving medical information The trampling of consent here is the whole reason people are viscerally angry beyond the simple financial consequences

          And, again, the "controlled digital lending" concept is an extrapolation from the Google Books decision (that the Authors Guild fought tooth and nail against and still holds was wrongly decided), and itself has never been directly tested This is a tactical advance, a power grab

          I mean, if it is and this is how you react to our libraries not functioning, I don't have a ton of sympathy.

          Libraries don't make those kind of judgement calls. They trust patrons to make their own value judgments. That's why they have all kinds of material.

          Okay so they don't get to make the judgment call that having a bunch of stuff people would like to read is a life or death emergency situation They don't have the right to unilaterally change the terms of their agreement with authors to distribute THEIR WORK
