Arthur Chu added,
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?
Unless I'm missing something, the books are still available for loan on IA, just not unrestrictedly
That part I get and it's something I want to ensure doesn't happen. Thing is, it seems like most people arguing seem to agree that the original lending system was fine and don't want IA to be shut down due to this lawsuit. So I guess people are talking past each other?
Do you agree @authkdcarrillo and @arthur_affect? You were fine with the original loaning program and don't want IA to be shut down? Or am I misrepresenting your opinions?
I don't want the IA as a whole to be "shut down" and I think turning it into this all-or-nothing question is a pretty scummy PR move from people defending their actions
I personally think that CDL was a bad idea and a very shaky legal argument, although I don't personally feel extremely strongly about it What I do feel strongly about is that the Authors Guild and NWU are labor unions in this dispute and outsiders shouldn't cross picket lines
