    Listen, I love libraries as much as the next person. We have very clear laws that protect libraries.

    Is copyright a little fucked and a little too slanted towards those rights holders? Yes.

    Did anyone really think it was OK to start adding books and movies in? And provide those for free to everyone simultaneously? Libraries don’t do that.
