tonight i'm going to watch an eminent scholar of copyright law argue with some dude i blocked for being annoying on twitter. not fair imo
-
-
"who benefits from mass digitization? I'm not going to." isn't he a musician
-
look i don't think the creator of a 7th century Chinese painting needs to be incentivized any further
-
and yeah I know that's outside the scope of the Google books settlement but that's where copyright creep has us
-
we're talking about freaking libraries and archives who want to digitize because that's the work
-
he doesn't want it to even start in libraries and archives because it's "factory-style." yo, your records get manufactured in a factory
-
publication is literally factory style copying
-
we're inching into "this disrespects my work" territory and we're talking about freaking libraries
-
maximalist doesn't want to progress to the next step of the argument, monetization and collective licensing, bc he objects to the scanning
-
"How did this get into the library in the first place?"
-
it... it.... it was bought
-
the other panelists want to talk about how much gets made available to the public which is where the action actually is
-
we're literally not moving from "how did it get into the library" and how scanning is wrong because artists don't control it
-
this is less of a bloodbath and more of a dude running repeatedly into a wall
-
I need to drink more so I can go back to tweeting jokily
-
"the University of California has spent 3 billion buying books" we're stuck explaining that libraries buy books lol we really are
-
this is the big controversy of the night. librarians buying books
-
people are attempting to move on to the issue of collecting societies. I think I know what maximalist is going to say
-
my favorite thing about copyright is that the most sensible answer to every dilemma is "full communism"
-
no one thinks that full text availability is fair use, except limited circumstances like search engine stuff & noneconomic works
-
"in a mass digitization scenario no one's curating" librarians smacking their foreheads everywhere
-
"So, um, libraries love to curate and they're making thoughtful decisions about what to collect and digitize..."

omg she just picked up a piece of paper to indicate that there are pieces of paper getting digitized
-
man I know there's a pressure to set up these panels to be "balanced" but omfg
-
her example is families bringing papers to Duke to get digitized and he's getting upset about how the originating family isn't in control
-
I don't even know what his point is
-
like a lot of the time maximalists are disingenuous but this guy isn't disingenuous! he really believes this! I don't know what this is
-
like someone should clarify that people are voluntarily bringing boxes of papers from their attics
-
people do this. people donate stuff to libraries and museums. of their own free will
-
like holy moly if he just stuck to vague concern trolling he'd be so much better off
-
like if every five minutes he just chimed in with "but how do creators get paid" his argument would have more force
