BREAKING: A federal judge has decided in favor of four publishers in the long-awaited copyright case Hachette v. Internet Archive. "There is nothing transformative about IA's copying and unauthorized lending of the works in the suit," the judge writes. This story is developing.

Starting to think a lot of ppl supporting this don't know how library ebook lending works. They don't buy an ebook and then share it willy-nilly. They purchase a license that allows them to loan it to a certain # of people at a time, for a certain # of years or # of borrows.

The Internet Archive is incredibly valuable (I use the Wayback Machine all the time)--but its unpermissioned book scanning project places all of that at risk #WritingCommunity #BookTwitter dankennedy.net/2023/03/21/why…

I’m back at my alma mater for the first time since graduating. I was studying business, but I’d come to this coffee shop and write and dream about becoming an author. Now I’m here to speak at a ceremony for the College of Business. And I’m an author 🥹

@kfcaudell That's understandable—it's not talked about a lot! When libraries buy books, it's completely different from when an individual buys them. It can get confusing!

@katharinewrites Thank you for explaining that, because I honestly didn't know how it worked.

And ppl coming at this with a "writers hate libraries!" argument— False. We love libraries. Every writer I know is DELIGHTED if you get their book from a library. That's where a lot of us get our books too, bc writers don't make a lot of money! We can't always buy books either.

Libraries don't buy a book, reproduce it, then put it online. That's called stealing. Real libraries respect writers too much to do that. Real libraries know that if writers don't get paid for their work, they can't keep writing books.

When you see people desperately scrambling to ban certain books, it's because they fear the power those books possess. A literate and well-informed public is our best defense against tyranny. Read a book to annoy a fascist.

@beckyysara Good point! It's somehow a combo of "face the worst thing you can imagine through play" and "we can have more interesting stories when we don't have parents around telling us not to do things."

The 6yo was playing "orphans running away to the woods" (as kids do) with two friends. They packed the entire contents of the play kitchen for the trek. My kid packed a lego box full of blocks. Looks like one of these children will not survive a YA-dystopia-style apocalypse.

Also, have any psychologists studied why kids LOVE to play at being orphans? My sister and I 100% did that too, and I know we weren't the only ones.

be honest, how many of us would have been shut away in asylums during the Victorian era for being “disobedient” and “unruly” and “a bit odd,” only to escape through a window in our white linen gowns and be mistaken for a ghost

The LGBT folks over 50 who I know in real life are all firmly on team "we reclaimed that word and you will pry it out of my cold, dead hands." The pushback is overwhelmingly from the young and originated with TERFs.
Louis Peitzman@LouisPeitzman

The move to ban “queer” might seem like a noble mission to older gays who may have first heard the word as a slur, but it’s fundamentally part of a mission to exclude trans people from the community, and it’s not particularly subtle.
