- JoshTriplett 11y agoAgreed; your local library happily accepts donations (assuming you haven't cut the spine off).
- GPGPU 11y agoThe local library doesn't really like donations. Most get tossed. A separate charity takes them, tosses most, and conducts sales to raise money for the library with what's left. But the fact is, if I'm retaining a copy of the book (with my scan), I can't give the book away. I still have it. That would be stealing. It is really disheartening to see people here on Hacker News who believe that intellectual property should be stolen and/or has no value. That's disturbing.
