      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.

      Like where is the explosion of temporary free e-books as one to one replacements for the unusable physical books? Who are the publishers and authors making that happen?

      Please tell me Arthur. What are the consequences in years to come if we decide that libraries don't need to function at any decent level of service during disease outbreaks? Tell me about the people suffering there and how they're being served.

      And yes, I'm getting short but I'm getting more than a littler tired of authors complaining with zero solutions other than "fuck the library users, I wanna get paid again"

      Many individual authors have offered to do what they can to increase availability for their own work What orgs like the AG are not okay with is unilaterally deciding on behalf of everyone that it's an emergency so their rights no longer exist

      That doesn't solve the problem. Why should authors get paid twice from libraries that can't pay them?

      The library doesn't have to pay them, they can just not offer the book That's always their right

      You're acting like it's an outrage that separate electronic distribution licenses exist that don't just magically come with having one copy of the physical book A popular opinion among consumers, sure, but not producers, since it drives the value of their work closer to zero
