Well guess its time to re-download the ram. Throw the feds off my trail. Even change my password, depending if I remember the email I used. Hack the planet!

Then you commit a crime. Not by retaining the copy but by making it. You generally cannot commit a crime by passivity though such as by not doing something. So simply retaining a copy you legally acquired cannot be illegal. As a comparison, if you rent a car, but never return it, then that's not a crime. It's generally called theft by conversion but it's a civil matter, not a criminal one. In IA's case though, they were the one making that copy. That you could commit the same crime another way doesn't really absolve theirs.

Here I was thinking the hackers were on Tor or Firefox... these are some sneaky hackers
Edit: The joke was that they were Hackers on Edge, like the browser... maybe it wasn't as funny as I thought?

Don't worry this happens on reddit as well. It's less of a China thing and more of a human thing...

It is though. Unless the library gets their books for free, which isn't normal, then they buy the books at a cost. But books have a limited lifespan. The more it's lent out the more it gets worn and eventually it's thrown away and replaced by, buying another copy, which is another cost. That results in that every lending does cost.

First sale doctrine doesn't apply between conpanies no. When it's two companies, and both libraries and authors are companies, then the contract terms apply. There are no consumer protections between them. That being said, I don't mean necessarily in terms of public lending rights as some countries have but rather that a book has a limited lifespan before it falls apart and library has to buy another copy. They can't just print out missing pages and stuff like that. So there is that cost of buying (and library books tend to be more expensive because sturdier binding and pages), divided by number of times it was able to be lent out.

That’s just really sad to me. I’ve always been ok on my own but my son is not.. and I often worry that he’s going to be lonely one day. Kids aren’t interacting with each other like they should. I’m not sure AI is the answer to this problem however. I think there’s plenty of people around.. we need to be more proactive about facilitating people coming together more.

If Amazon reduces the amount of theaters by 1/3rd they can monopolize many markets and turn it into a mini theme park or a circus, which is what theaters were originally borne from. It's about money and control, as usual. And even if it doesn't work out, they get all this valuable real estate for other Amazon properties like warehouses, datacenters, clinics or schools.

Combined with living in an authoritarian/dictatorial system of oppression would make be depressed as well.
