>Apart from the ecological issues,
Complete nothingburger. Actually worse than that, its a London Horse Manure crisis.
>Destroying millions of obscure books to scan them?
I really don't see the issue. They got slapped in the face for trying to do things the right way and torrent the lot. Why wouldn't they exercise their legal right to buy physical items and create digital backups?
>They make meth-heads look scrupulous.
My local meth head checks in on my family every 2-3 months, because when she had fled from hospital post surgery, and added some meth to some morphine, we gave her new clothes and a safe place while we convinced her that the ambulance service wasn't run by Satan. She's good people. Anyway if she wanted a whole bunch of digital books I would help her torrent them like a responsible person.
- zelphirkalt 1mo ago"Doing things the right way" lol ... I mean, I am fine with it, if for now and ever after we are all free to "do it the right way with torrents". But some are more equal than others in this world, so naturally even if this was tolerated, it would not extend to us and our freedoms.
