      Chuck Wendig didn't cause this JFC If you don't think that publishers were aware of this issue until Chuck Wendig tweeted about it you're really, really not qualified to talk about ithttps://twitter.com/coopercooperco/status/1271420782133030913 …

      Pretty cool that Chuck Wendig decided to play cop on the Internet Archive, so not only did they end their TEMPORARY unlimited lending program (the tweet you see going around) but the lawsuit his shit caused has put the ENTIRE archive in jeopardy. https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/5dzg8n/archiving-the-internet-archive-sued-by-publishers … pic.twitter.com/1ge7kpls9U

      All authors are angry that our work is being stolen and handed out for free. It’s ultimately a product that is being stolen from the creator. If it were a more physical object would you understand better?

      Absolutely, but my understanding was this wasn't a regular or permanent thing, it was in response to the pandemic & quarantine. Various platforms opened their content to the public for free (particularly education platforms), and news media eliminated paywalls on some content.

      The idea that it's their decision to make because it's "their content" now that they host it is the whole reason people were mad It's really not about the immediate revenue lost, it's about the precedent - this was a legal power grab

      And you can agree with that power grab - take the position that separate ebook licensing rights shouldn't exist and that fair use for libraries should be much more expansive than it is But people should at least be honest that that's the situation

      IA was not just doing normal uncontroversial stuff that all libraries do only for publishers to turn on them because they want all libraries to cease to exist, the way their defenders are framing it

          The very fact that IA still calls this a "library" rather than a pirate server like any other, which it now is, betrays their awareness of the optics here. And I am someone who very much supports their projects, as a rule, but they're simply lying about what they're doing here.

          except they weren't permanent copies. they worked only for a limited time. so they still acted as a library, just with more copies of each book.

          I haven’t been following this closely, so this there is likely something obvious I missed, but maybe this actually highlights a big gap in services for libraries? Libraries are closed, and there are months-long waitlists for most digital books. This is an opportunity for
