      Arthur Chu Retweeted Qualia Redux

      It's really fucking awkward that the pro-IA side of this has actually said shit like "Why would you stupid writers do something REALLY useful and organize?" When they HAVE organized, and the major labor unions for writers -- the Authors Guild, SFWA, RWA, NWU -- are anti-IAhttps://twitter.com/QualiaRedux/status/1271489868909154308 …

      Arthur Chu added,

      Qualia Redux @QualiaRedux
      What if... and I know this is wild, but bear with me... the left offered a better deal for writers than capitalism currently does, and the push to reform came from outrage at working conditions and not just when you have to pay for things and don't wanna.

      Disney was never threatened or harmed by the Internet Archive in any way, nor would the IA going down be of any practical benefit to them whatsoever

      This is fundamentally untrue, and the narrative that big publishing is the most serious threat to authors' livelihoods has very little basis

      Replying to @4dDook @arthur_affect

      There are massive amounts of literature online for free, and libraries and book stores aren't a concept that's exclusive to Western countries. The idea that new books, all of them, should be available online for free as soon as they are published, is untenable in this system.

      If you can think of a system by which poor people who can't afford to pay for books can get them that doesn't lead to nobody having to pay for them at all anymore I'm all ears

      And yes, I know that nobody having to pay for them at all anymore doesn't mean that nobody ever will pay I strongly dispute that turning paying for books into a purely voluntary gratuity is reasonable or sustainable

          Replying to @arthur_affect @4dDook

          It all leads to contradictions like "books are so vital access to them is a human right, but creating them is basically a hobby and doesn't deserve payment" or "it is essential that reading books be accessible to the poor, but okay that writing them be a hobby for the wealthy"
