I did not point to naïvete. I asked why, if you see the thing has gravity, you would be treating it as just a "oh well no great loss".

If it is clear to you that it is simplistic, why do you publish it anyway?

You have simply heavily missed that you are keeping yourself on voluntary diet while the submission context is that, within a complex frame of reasons and regulation attempts, somebody has placed a population on enforced lack of service.

I was referring to the interpretation of «ridiculous» as "it is preposterous", not at that which means "it is frustrating". And personally, in front of "UFO: Enemy Unknown" I lived the pleasure of the masterpie

People frequently do not understand the statistics underlying real world dynamics, embrace oversimplified world models, and going against that has them discouraged? That is one strong re-expression of the satanic attitude. From cinematograp

Again and again: the "book", the item, is a private object, access to the text is freely available - to those member of societies that have decided that knowledge be freely available and have thus established libraries. (They have

That is an elision for " public knowledge". Of course there are nuances. In the case of books, there is little doubt: printed for sale is literally named "published". (The "for sale" side does not limit the pu

Copyright law in the USA may be more liberal about scanning than other jurisdictions (see the parallel comment from gpm), which expressly regulate the amount of copying of material you do not own as an item.
896.
by mdp2021 1y ago
Scanning (copying) is¹ not allowed. Reading is. What is in a library, you can freely read. Find the most appropriate way. You do not need to have bought the book. ¹(Edit: or /may/ not be allowed, see posts below.)

It fits the basicmost fair use: reading them. Current "training" can be considered as a gross form of reading.

Are you sure? I think in some jurisdictions they would, according to the law.
