So fucking convenient that the AAP does not name the publishers in the law suit. Cowards the lot of them.
Modern version of barbarians burning the library of Alexandria.
Modern day book burning. Done by the writers this time.
Printers*
Don't blame the writers, some of whom are long dead, and some titles are long out of print.
Writers give publishers legitimacy. Publishers will regularly pull the writers out to trot out some "copyright is important" line.
Sign the petition! Not sure if it is going to make any difference, but it just takes a couple of minutes. https://www.change.org/p/let-readers-read-an-open-letter-to-the-publishers-in-hachette-v-internet-archive
has change.org ever changed anything?
Well it's made a lot of people feel satisfied that they've done their bit and had their say.
change.org doesn't like my mail address for some reason, and they tried trick me into subscribing to their newsletter :/
Yeah I know, change.org isn't great but what other options do we have?

Sucks for Americans that Biden got rid of the option
Sucks for Americans that Biden got rid of the option
That really sucks
Maybe filing a charge.org petition to raise an alternative service to charge.org. Maybe something in the Fediverse, even!
Definitely won't find these books on Anna's Archive /s
This is cool. Thank you for sharing
It's really cool. I learned about it from the megathread: https://rentry.co/megathread-books#annas-archive
This only makes me favor copyright reform more. Should really cut that down to 25 years or less; anything from before the 21st century should be public domain by now.
How about 'artist's death', full stop?
How about 'artists natural death', full stop?
We wouldn't want to get any funny ideas, would we?
Much better, very good detail 😅
Well, that's shit news
It would be a shame if another website pop up and uploaded these removed book to it and call it, idk, Internet Alexandria or something.
wait until you hear about libgen
Would be a shame if they decided to call it something with the letter z and the word library in it
It's great that these projects already exist
but it hurts accessibility that you need to be "in the know" to find out about it.
every media outlet has to mention WayBackMachine; it's such a great outreach and legitimizing
I dunno. I think there are enough things named after men.
Maybe a nice neutral woman's name... Like, Anna?
And it's more about preservation and archival, so I think it should be called an Archive, not a library.
Yeah, Anna's Archive. Great name. Let's go with that one.
You can't delete what was already destroyed!
