@internetarchive It is awful you have to fight just to survive and for all libraries to survive. I wish more would join the suit like the ALA since it affects all libraries not just ones on the internet. Particularly in a environment where books are being banned the internet is more important to evade such awful censorship and authoritarian control. Not just of books but of the mind itself. Which is their actual goal.

@internetarchive Is this from when you decided to become the pirate bay for currently published works by living authors?It may determine the future of all libraries, but not in the way you're implying. Just thinking about the people who were sad the manga series they read from pirate websites were discontinued.

@internetarchive Can't wait until we move to a system that protects true creators more than culture vultures. Saul Zaentz is dead. Long live John Fogarty.Publishers need to ask authors before playing these games.

@internetarchive A lot of what you do it good. But keeping authors from getting paid for their work is a bad move that jeopardizes the good things the internet archive does.https://nwu.org/authors-object-to-the-internet-archives-book-piracy/

@HueSatLight Libraries don’t keep authors from getting paid. Libraries are discovery engines for authors. One person at a time can borrow our books.

@internetarchive Wow. First we had Harper Collins screwing its employees; now we have Hachette screwing their customers. What on Earth is going on in the #publishing industry??

@internetarchive The problem is copyright had gone from28 years to longer the lifespan of every American. It can be fixed in this country with some simple changes.1. Copyright renewal should not be automatic. 2. Public performance should be fair use after 28 years (the original copyright limit). 3. Limit heirs and estates to works exactly as copyrighted, not derivative works. #copyright #copyrightoffice

@internetarchive Librarians: "We're having to pull books off the shelves or face illiterate mobs of armed lunatics."Publishers: "Let's sue the Internet Archive."Capitalism is one helluva drug.

@internetarchive @HueSatLight Libraries pay publishers a special licensing fee for books (print and digital), and authors do get paid for these markets. The lending of books, including digital, is restricted.Generally, authors do not get paid much for books. Advances are small, royalties aren't very big, and many publishing companies are barely surviving (especially small publishing houses). Many authors make their books pay by doing paid public speaking, school visits, lectures, etc.In Canada, a best seller is selling about 3,000 copies of your book. That's it. Usually, authors have to do their own promotion.This article covers what happens in the US. https://www.janefriedman.com/what-do-authors-earn-from-digital-lending-at-libraries/

@internetarchive this is not a new idea, as publishers hate the idea of libraries and lending and have done so for years. What they see is all the unrealised sales of their products.

Hachette doesn’t like anyone disrupting their monopoly. It makes it harder for them to cheat authors.
