I'd be all for altering definitions in a way that enables them to do stuff like the controlled lending system (also just digitizing shit generally).

But I think the law is pretty clear, and a precedent calling their use case fair use would be mind blowing. You need new, much more common sense IP legislation that redefines consumer rights in a digital world.

same same same

can anyone please point me to some piece of writing that explains how IA didn't willfully self destruct?

everything i read about this legal action, even when I read IA's stuff about, sounds moronic. doomed to fail and lose big for themselves and for others by setting a loser precident.
