      People are so mad over this because the basis of CDL is kind of obviously a bullshit stepping stone to what they actually want Like it's so obvious Brewster Kahle just doesn't like copyright period and he thinks a world where everything is free and authors work for tips is ideal

      The free culture side obviously wants this, it's their stated goal to just end copyright, period, people openly say it to your face constantly So yes it is frustrating trying to argue about the legal status quo of something like CDL and pretend we're not talking about that

      My position is a broadly "pro-copyright" position - I'm flexible on a lot of details but I think the idea of copyright is in and of itself a moral good and worth defending Which is a totally middle of the road position in the real world and on Twitter makes you a Nazi monster

      i admit, i am leery of this whole clusterfuck-feeling thing for a variety of reasons, one of them being i am not keen on making writing even more of a resource hole for the writers, even further entrenching it into a craft only able to be seriously pursued by the wealthy.

      perhaps i worry too much or incorrectly, and god knows it's a problem with the current system as is. but i can see how the end/weakening of copyright without also strengthening other radical avenues of support can cause... an issue

      i mean, what happened to the clothworkers when the sewing machine broke big? i'm not sure. i was taught by capitalists that it was a True Good, Ultimately. and they tend to gloss over a lot of the uglier sides of that.

      i admit, also some of the pro-IA arguments that boil down to "save the good things the IA does by backing this maybe-murky thing" aren't... necessarily wrong exactly. but it tastes of Gawker to me? which is another thing i might not understand well, but...

      The people saying the IA being totally destroyed as a result of this -- because Big Publishing is merely acting as an arm of Big Copyright and they want to destroy ALL archives of EVERYTHING -- are being annoying Internet people as usual

      I am very confident in making the prediction that Wayback Machine will be fine, the archives of abandonware video games and the scans of old newspapers and all of that will be fine Bringing them into the argument at all is just rhetorical hostage-taking

      The plaintiffs' stated goal is shutting down the Open Library, specifically, and much more importantly getting a legal precedent against CDL, on the completely true belief that CDL and existing ebook licensing for libraries cannot coexist and one must eventually replace the other

      They will, yes, probably come up with some scary high number for monetary damages by taking a fine for each "infringing act" and multiplying it out As always, this will be a negotiating tactic to force a settlement, and they will not actually expect it to be paid
