Their theory is that they can replace Human employees with this and thus save money.

I tore your entire bullshit position to shreds, so you whined a lot about unrelated crap in an effort to distract from your having no leg to stand on.

Library, look it up. And the publishers always hated Libraries.

Can you say, merger and consolidation leading to monopoly practices in a text book example of how not to regulate and oversee a free market? I knew you could.

Lots more elections than every four! Every Election, no excuses!

Bellow I've filtered out the primaries, which often have issues not related to party as well, and excludes local elections.

those whom you call "political class", are in fact the representatives of the very wealthy, are only there as lots of Eligible Voters sat out prior elections, and the "political class"'s owners paid for the propaganda that convinced them to do so. Exact same bullshit they've sold to you in fact.

Your calling files, book documents to be specific, books, doesn't change that IA is storing files, ebooks to be specific, nor that the ruling shall affect all Libraries, which includes the Internet Archive to be specific. And the actual issue, is that the publishers refuse to offer ebooks to Libraries as they assume it'll cost sales when in fact the folks using the Library are there as they are not going to go buy one.

[–] TigrisMorte@kbin.social 39 points 4 months ago

You are simply wrong from the get go. This is the only way it'll ever get addressed, is 100% in the stated purpose of the Internet Archive, the dumb part isn't on the side of preservation efforts, there isn't a separate issue nor is there a separate copyright the publishers are the same with the exact same unsustainable arguments regardless of web page, code, or ebook.
You are making the same mistake made upon a lot of patents, assuming "but on a computer" is somehow transformative.
