| Super selfish of Anna's Archive to mention this. "Look what we did!" with zero thought to the consequences for others. |

| > the consequences for others. The only people facing consequences are the license-holders. Online lending libraries aren't missing a copy now that AA archived it, and there's not really a substantial cost to the hosters in network bandwidth. Am I missing something here? As a user I don't empathize with anyone but the archivers. |

| ▲ | californical 3 days ago | parent [-] | | Depends a bit probably if your local library has major lawsuits for operating in a very sketchy side of the legal gray area | | |
| ▲ | account42 3 days ago | parent [-] | | Maybe your library shouldn't have made choices that put it at odds with the data preservation community then. | | |
| ▲ | californical a day ago | parent [-] | | Strongly agree, but what does that have to do with the point I was making: that yes indeed they might be liable, and are different than a library? |
