      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

      the dumbest thing is, this is basically the direct result of the archive's own legal boundary-pushing. nobody bothered with them when they had a dubiously-legal lending program--it was when they went full-on copyright pirate "information wants to be free!" that pubs responded

      it's all an entirely predictable outcome. *of course* publishers are going to sue you and you are going to lose if you try that. we've seen it happen to like a dozen other file-sharing sites! this isn't a shock!

      the internet archive blew up their own spot! this isn't to defend copyright laws as they actually exist--but just considered tactically, from a "how do we get copyright to change" perspective, this had zero chance of success

      you are the one without a clue. they had a limited number of copies equal the number of physical copies a library had. the ebooks were lent out until that number was reached then people had to wait. the lent copies were read, then returned, which allowed another person access.

      the lent copies themselves were temporary, with a self destruct built into them. they could no longer be read after the lending period. so yes, it was a fucking LIBRARY.

      The issue with Controlled Digital Lending is that even if they promise they write code that strictly limits the number of borrowed copies to equal physical copies (and thus mimic a physical library) they have the power to remove that limit with a keystroke

          The reason publishers haven't sued over CDL for nine years is that there was this extremely tense standoff as long as IA swore up and down they would never use this power Then they did, with the pandemic as justification Now there's an entirely predictable lawsuit

          It's not about the amount of money they lose during this time period It's about IA openly changing their stance from "We will NEVER EVER do anything to compromise the 'legal pillars' of controlled digital lending" to "We might do so whenever we think there's a good reason"
