      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"

      except they didn't really change much except giving access to a wider audience during a time of global crisis as a means of providing aid. the copies are still being "lent". not given. no different then if a library suddenly got a fresh shipment of new stock.

      Uh, yes, it's completely different A library that gets a new shipment of physical books had to pay for that new shipment, with each new copy costing as much as the copies they already had IA just waved a magic wand to give themselves infinite copies, for free

      No, they don't. 1) Libraries receive donations of new books all the time, 2) they are exempt from standard copyright laws and are under no obligation to pay. If they pay at all it's out of courtesy. And, the copies are still being LENT, not given.

      1) Donated physical books still had to be bought by someone first and then given to the library The whole point of CDL was defending themselves by saying they never, ever use digital magic to create new copies from thin air that never got paid for

      2) The question of how "exempt" IA is as a library from the typical boundaries of fair use (and whether IA is, in fact, a library) has never been tested in court They've gone nine years without it being tested in court and continued to push those boundaries and claim new rights

      So if nothing else the idea that this lawsuit is a surprise, or that it had to be triggered by Chuck Wendig using his immense Twitter clout to force publishers' hand, is ridiculous

      doesn't prevent him from being viewed as an asshat for attacking a generous organization that exists to help and educate people during a time when intellectualism is on the chopping block and so many in power wish the populace to remain as ignorant as possible.

      You can think he's an asshat if you want but focusing on him is pretty skewed priorities You know the Authors Guild and the National Writers Union have been screaming about wanting CDL shut down for the whole nine years it's been a thing

          Doesn't matter. then they will become equal targets. all this will do is generate ACTUAL piracy. the more you strip away free or easy access the easier you make it for people to just say "screw it". then they get files WITHOUT limits, timers, DRM, etc.

          The ones you’re talking about are also the exact same people who would never have bought the original work to begin with, so it’s not like the publishers are losing them as customers. “Information should be free!”= “Creators shouldn’t be paid!”

          This is a non-exhaustive list of the organizations expressing their opposition to CDL in 2019. It's not just writers - it's also photographers, graphic artists, translators etc. and their advocates. Chuck Wendig is kinda background noise in this debate.pic.twitter.com/4HxmaJFBkk
