      I am always going to instinctively side with producers over consumers in these disputes, ESPECIALLY when what we're talking about isn't academic publishing but entertainment

      Yeah, everyone's suffering, broke authors are suffering a lot too Maybe now is a good time for people who can afford it to reach into their wallets and buy a bunch of shit they'd been meaning to just read in the library when they got around to it

      There are a ton of authors who have made ebooks available for free or on deep discounts based on what THEY think THEY CAN AFFORD It isn't anyone's place to make the decision for them

      Oh my God. Their books have already been bought. We need a temporary digital copy for libraries in lieu of the unusable physical copy. You're using libraries closing down because or COVID-19 as stimulus program. They don't have the money

      Nobody "needs" the books to be available right fucking now, especially not science fiction or romance novels They WANT them to be available, and that's not the same thing

      People are out of jobs, their lives are ruined and when they go to the one place in the world that won't charge them, the libraries have to say "nope. We paid for the book but you seem we didn't PAY for the book the way the author wants us to now"

      With this reasoning, I could get out of any complex contract just by mocking its complexity.

      And even with contracts there are outs for extraordinary circumstances or if the contract is unjust.

      If you want something and the other person offers unfair terms, the ethical alternative -speaking of luxury goods and entertainment, here- is finding something else. Not stealing the thing "because the contract was unfair".

      It's the sheer thirsty entitlement here that's so off putting The simultaneous insistence that these books are precious, incredibly valuable, people will die without them And that the people who MADE THOSE BOOKS are lazy greedy little shits who've been paid enough

          That's the whole "idea landlord" thing, like the author of a book just stumbled upon the concept in the ether and put a fence around it but didn't *make* anything, just *discovered* it

          I used to talk like that back in college, the whole poetic nonsense about writing ("I didn't create these characters, I discovered them, I sat down and listened to what they had to say") As an old bitter man now, I think this is just mostly bilge
