Libraries buy licenses to do so from the publishers, but that's unrelated to what I said.

I'm saying the judge found that IA violated its own CDL, so even if its interpretation of the law was correct, the IA would still be liable.

Libraries do not make unlimited copies of books so everyone can check it out at the same time without wait. Obviously the EFF doesn't want to admit its client did that because it destroys their case, but that's what the judge found the IA stupidly did.

More it still exists because they were literally incapable of replacing it. They weren't good quality; people just didn't have any other options. I'm sure we can make our cars last just as long if we clamp the screws tighter and ensure no one can afford to buy a new car.

Disinfectant ≠ pesticide

Obviously every COVID policy everywhere is heavily criticized after the fact by someone, but that likely saved lives.

That post was two months before Reddit announced it was going to make API changes.

Donating to GIMP will not likely make it user-friendly enough to make me use it unless absolutely forced to. I would much rather donate to Pinta or Paint.NET or something where development would actually benefit me.

It's literally a victimless crime committed unintentionally. Most people oppose 12-year prison sentences for harmless accidents.

Everything has some rate of death. That doesn't make it reckless. Are you saying anyone who owns another dog or who rides a bikes or who has a tree in his yard or who cooks food or who performs surgery which leads to someone's death should also get [5–10 years in prison] no matter what?

Drunk driving has an incomparably higher fatality rate though. (Like 1 in 600 vs pits' 1 in 500,000)

And you can't be charged with murder for drunk driving. That's reckless homicide.

Technically pit bulls are some terrier.
