@internetarchive It is awful you have to fight just to survive and for all libraries to survive. I wish more would join the suit like the ALA since it affects all libraries not just ones on the internet. Particularly in a environment where books are being banned the internet is more important to evade such awful censorship and authoritarian control. Not just of books but of the mind itself. Which is their actual goal.

Let's fight against "Sue Happy". And "Ruth Less".

@internetarchive Is this from when you decided to become the pirate bay for currently published works by living authors?

It may determine the future of all libraries, but not in the way you're implying. Just thinking about the people who were sad the manga series they read from pirate websites were discontinued.

@internetarchive A lot of what you do it good. But keeping authors from getting paid for their work is a bad move that jeopardizes the good things the internet archive does.

@internetarchive for donations to fight the suit, should we make general donations or is there a specific url/fund to support?
