The Internet Archive just lost its appeal over ebook lending
The Internet Archive just lost its appeal over ebook lending
A big blow to the Internet Archive.
These publishers' names are:
Hachette,
Penguin Random House,
Wiley,
and
HarperCollins
Time to never buy any book from them again. I'm moving on to pirating ebooks and audiobooks. Sorry JRR and Christopher Tolkien (may you rest in peace), but I'm not buying any more of your books because they were published by HarperCollins. And I'm also not buying a lot of other books too.
To be honest, I don't think the Tolkien Estate needs our patronage.
I really appreciate the sentiment, but sadly: Individual boycots that aren't attached to a concertated campaign sadly don't work. Pirate away, but you can be certain that these publishers don't know that you exist.
And the judge name are: steven menashi, beth robinson, maria araujo kahn.
Time to mail them bag of dick i guess?
On the other hand, authors have a right to be compensated in connection with the copying and distribution of their original creations.
No author lose any compensation, only publisher. Publisher not have that right.
the best thing to do is download and torrent to preserve humanity's wealth in knowledge otherwise we risk losing immeasurable treasures to the sands of time
Personal recommendation:
qBittorrent- Repo
- Licensed under: GPL-2.0 and GPL-3.0
A sad day for pro-preservation advocates
