What I'm getting at is...
Do you feel the same way?
Is this going to have broader ramifications for the archive?

Oh, it absolutely was. And I say this as someone who loves the Archive.

As far as I can tell:

nothing.

95% of what the Archive is doing is fine. It's just that giving away unlimited free copies of in-print books by still-living authors, tends to gently caress those authors over.

Chuck Wendig had a twitter thread that got made into a movie.

He was played by Alyson Hannigan.

I'm an author. I love the Internet Archive because I was able to find dozens of primary sources for my work as a historian because of their work. Chuck Wendig can eat my rear end hairs.
