IA is sooooo important we can't even undo the clusterfuck that is the disney-bought copyright system.
The black woman on the bus refusing to give up her seat was also 100% legally obviously in the wrong. IA lost not because what they were doing was morally wrong, but because each and every one of us continually refuses to agitate for the kind of change that would benefit the world.
If you want the public to have a library, you must enshrine that library's right to exist and operate in law, or it will never survive legal challenges from IP holders. Physical libraries would never be allowed to exist in modern America, not without 100 years of precedence of the first sale doctrine. You can bet your ass disney would have tried to kill such a thing. Freely watch our movies? No chance.
