Nobody mad about the internet archive even understands why they lost
The publishers didn't sue the wayback machine
#it's because scanning a book and creating an ocr digital file are not the same thing
#and lending out more copies than you have like they did in 2020 is copyright infringement
#be mad at random authors and publishers all you like but under existing copyright law they aren't allowed to do that
#and maybe copyright should be different but risking ia to challenge laws is in fact a risk
#I'm mad af that they did this
#if they had asked a lawyer they'd have been told not to
#so they either did it recklessly or ignored the lawyer which is a different kind of reckless
#the people who put ia at risk was the ia
#no one held a gun to their head and made them do that
#and i promise you that the author you're mad at is not how the publishers find out about it since they were on npr about it
#if you do publicity about your copyright infringement the publishers might hear about it
#and everyone being like time to do piracy is ia is fine is not actually helping the argument that they aren't facilitating piracy
