      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.

      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

      And when those definitions aren't so clear? Remember Anne Rice and fan fiction?

      When those definitions aren't so clear then my stance isn't so clear, but this time they are

      No one is making any attempted arguments here about transformative work at all, it's a red herring (unless you're taking the Maximum Consistency dorm room argument that to allow transformative work to exist logically implies IP as a concept must collapse under its contradictions)

      Okay, so: earlier you mentioned that authors should have the right to remove their work from circulation. Anne Rice should certainly be able to remove her work from fanfic consideration then, surely?

      The hard line approach both sides are taking on this thing is fucking weird, quite frankly. Like, am I wrong to give my copy of bone to the kid of a single mother I know? Certainly no money goes to Jeff Smith in that transaction

      Actually I've had a bit of a cough these last couple days, probably nothing but we *are* in a pandemic, phyisical copy of the book seems a bit risky in these days. Better to send a pdf, surely?

      *shrug* Individual people doing minor things on a casual basis is not the same thing, or if it's qualitatively the same thing the fact that it's much quantitatively lower impact means people can and do prioritize what they get upset about

      It's not a big deal for me to pay for lunch for someone if we go out and they can't afford it, that doesn't mean I can open up a tab at the restaurant and let everyone eat for free and charge it to my card

          The thing people are missing here is it's not one case of someone uploading a song onto YouTube or whatever, groups like the AG push back when large organizations seek to legally expand fair use all at once, en masse, and create a new legal precedent

          Most of these authors would probably give you a free ebook key themselves if you asked nicely, the issue is IA suddenly and unilaterally deciding on their behalf "You don't need this revenue stream right now, it's an emergency"
