       @internetarchive @clairewoodcock This really question: Do we ALL need 70+ years of copyright protection? I talked to my state representative of making copyright expire earlier if copyright holders go inactive. I hate seeing Abandonware, orphaned works, or any works in which the copyright holder is even unwilling to continue enforcing it which makes it pointless to have such copyright lengths. The lobbying for longer copyrights applied to ALL people but for not on what lengths are needed.

       @internetarchive @team The publisher's argument accusing that the IA didn't pay publishers or authors is flat out wrong. Simply not paying? So if I donate a purchased book to a library, is that library responsible to pay publishers/authors? Did they not know that people can buy products on behalf of others? You might as well demand children to pay just because their parents gave it to them.

       @internetarchive @team If you go to a bookstore, take a book off the shelf, read a few pages for a few seconds, and then put it back, is that stealing?
