The
Simulacron3 would do well to
meditate some more (or even
read, though one would hope
not at a
library) on
copyright.
Specifically, on what a copyright library is.
Well go on, give us a clue!
How are we going to
sue the
bastards for
copyright infringement (or even just
prove that they did, in case we think we're
libertarians)? One good way is to go to your
country's
copyright library: the
Library of Congress in the
USA, the
National Library in
Israel, ...
When a book is published, a copy goes into the copyright library. Which makes copyright infringement much easier to show.
Is that all?
Not really. You see,
copyright laws
specifically state exemptions for libraries. The point of copyright is to dissemminate
information in a
fair manner,
not to stifle it!
And the copyright library(ies) is the foremost institution a copyright law gives for doing that.
