@ascentale@sfba.social @pete@masto.hypertelia.com @bikenite@fedigroups.social - A5 - I have an Avatar 2000 LWB USS recumbent in amazing condition except that one of the leather pieces that mounts the seat on the frame has broken. Anyone know a good SF Bay Area leatherworker (or make me a *serious* offer to buy)? Been that way for ~ 2 years. 6 other bikes in riding condition plus 1 rideable but doesn't fit me well. #BikeNite #BikeTooter #Cycling #MastoBikes cc @bikenite

@vwbusguy - Now is not the time for the U.S. to step up preparations for a military draft! Here's what's happening, why it won't work, why it's such a bad idea, and why so many people are opposing it and calling for *repeal* of the Military Selective Service Act: https://hasbrouck.org/draft/automatic/

RE: @evacide@hachyderm.io

Obviously hypocritical that US govt is warning about *other* govts wanting access to data on travellers' digital devices, but still a reason to transit some airport other than HKG.

Replying to @a1ba@suya.place
@a1ba@suya.place @Yuvalne@433.world - Many writers would also be willing to license rights to non-DRM distribution by libraries. But libraries have refused to talk with writers about licensing. They prefer to get ebooks form publishers of print versions, who in many cases never owned the digital rights, and demand less favorable terms than would the writers who actually hold most backlist digital rights. Don't blaim writers for what former print book publishers' do! We are eager to negotiate directly with libraries.

But IA *refuses* even to talk to writers about letting us add pointers to these authorized editions to IA index pages. IA insists on telling visitors *only* about its own bootleg versions, even when better, authorized versions exist.

@a1ba@suya.place @Yuvalne@433.world - Only the law stops one from copying a book borrowed form a library. But Libraries don't themselves make unlimited numbers of printed copies. They only lend the copy they bought. It's not about what those who get copies from IA do. IA *itself*, unlike a library, is making the unauthorized copies.

@a1ba@suya.place @Yuvalne@433.world - They call themselves a library, but that doesn't make it so. As discussed in the NWU explainer I linked to earlier in this thread, libraries *lend* books. Lending doesn't implicate copyright, because lending doesn't involve making copies. IA makes and distributes (unauthorized) copies. Scanning something and posting it on an unrestricted public web site isn't lending, it's publishing. IA is a pirate Web publisher, not a library.

What they can't legally do (but do) is make and distribute additional unauthorized copies, in effect becoming a publisher and distributor of their own new pirate edition of each book.
