      In recognition of concern by authors about what the National Emergency Library consists of and is for, I've pushed my entire week's schedule off my desk, and I'm here to help you. If after reading http://blog.archive.org/2020/03/30/internet-archive-responds-why-we-released-the-national-emergency-library/ … you are still uncomfortable with the situation, ping me.

      Thanks for the response, Jason. It’s still not legal to let everyone with an internet connection read all the copyrighted books they physically can, for free, without consent of the author or publisher. That IS piracy, whether you’d prefer to think of it that way or not.

      I understand the issues. I do want to ask if you have a book on the site you'd like removed, and I can help with that, and feel free to let a person know about me if you've seen them on twitter saying their book is on the site and they want it removed.

      Right, so, you know what you’re doing is wrong, but every individual author has to take the time to opt out or sue? Come on. The real problem here is that you’re promoting the idea that a book’s worth is only the paper it’s printed on—that authors’ labor has no value at all.

      Ty, how do you propose libraries serve patrons when all the physical books they own are locked up? Honestly, please solve this problem, I want it solve in a different way. A lot of places have very few copies of e-books and can't afford to buy them.

      The only option I can see other than this is to say that, in a temporary crisis, libraries should simply not loan out e-book versions of the physical books they've already compensated publishers and authors for. Like if there's another solution, I truly want to know it

      The ball ought to be in the court of the rightsholder Ask them if they want to relax ebook lending restrictions because of the crisis If they do, great, if not, that sucks, but either way it wasn't your decision

      So then we're just accepting a massive decrease in service for library patrons during a national crisis. If there was ever a time a library should be able to be a community resource,it should be now. And short of NEL, the service it will provide will be abysmal.

      We're "just accepting" a massive decrease in lots of services right now. But nobody's suggesting grocery stores stop charging for food, or Uber drivers stop charging for rides. For some reason, it's only writers who are supposed to give away their work for free.

      There's a picket line for Instacart, Whole Foods, Amazon, etc right now Those companies provide goods that, unlike books, people actually literally need to survive and not starve to death I'm still against crossing that picket line

          Are those people's jobs more dangerous and grueling and underpaid than being a writer? I would actually say yes, no question But the inconvenience to customers of the strike is similarly way more important than not being able to read popular fiction books So it's a wash
