Interesting to see the HN community at large suddenly supporting copyright law status-quo...
- godzillabrennus 6y agoI think most people agree that creators should be paid. It’s the greed of big publishing companies (especially in research) that drive people up a wall with anger.
- zucker42 6y agoIA likely also agree that creators should be paid.
- ApolloFortyNine 6y agoAnd how did they expect them to get paid when they were giving away unlimited copies of the authors books?
- EamonnMR 6y agoI do not want everything else the archive preserves (including, full disclosure, reams of pages I scanned myself) to be lost because they decided to pick a fight they couldn't win.
- exolymph 6y agoPeople don't support the copyright status quo, people think it was stupid to risk a vital resource in an unlikely-to-be-won fight. It was delusional and irresponsible.
