This is why we can't have nice things.

It's almost like an economy based on scarcity was made obsolete the second a technology that defies scarcity was created. #TakingCrazyPills

The author lost me when he spent an inordinate amount of time comparing the Google book scanning initiative to the VCR, which is a bogus comparison. The class action wasn’t aimed at Google’s scanning technology (the video cassette recorder) but the actual scanning of copyright materials (bootleg movies). Google didn’t get any flack at all for making a duplication device, it got in trouble for running a dub house, and right or wrong, that’s what got them sued. The comparison to the VCR suggests the author can’t grasp the issue central to the subject he’s writing about.

I suspect the only reason you're commenting on this post that doesn't ostensibly relate to your normal political bugaboos is that you were triggered by the reference to the burning of the library of Alexandria, often blamed on muslims.
