      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

      Apparently anyone who wants to get paid for their writing is the devil.

      There will never be a shortage of people who pay for books. The only people hurt by this are people that either wouldn't have bought the books, and people that couldn't. Classist moralising at it's worst.

      You know this is the same kind of argument people make for why it's okay to make waiters work for tips

      Equating labor to digitized information sucks ass and anyone worth a damn should know better

      I am fully aware that compensating people per copy sold is a deeply imperfect way of compensating labor (just like playing a live show doesn't become more work the more people buy tickets, or for that matter waiting a table becomes harder if they order more expensive food)

      That said, it really, honestly is the best way we have in a lot of fields, or at least the one many creators say works best for them If you have a way to make this unnecessary by signing up authors for a regular per-hour salary from the Art Factory, I'm all for it

      But until then, it's like sneaking into a concert and being all "I didn't steal anything, you were gonna play the same show either way" (an analogy I got from @Hal_Duncan) You're technically correct but you're being a dick, especially if you actually say it directly to them

      Like "Okay I ordered the steak this time but I tipped you the same amount as if I ordered the burger You don't mind, right? I mean it's the same amount of work for *you* either way" Yeah okay dude it's legal but you violated a social convention that exists for a reason

          I think what gets me here is that people do, in fact, understand that these systems are sloppy and inconsistently enforced, they're a form of price discrimination

          It's a shitty social convention. Wait staff should get paid a reasonable salary. You're arguing against the point you seem to be making.

          I just said if you can think of a better way to pay authors as "salaried employees" that doesn't just give more power to corporations I'm all for it
