See the Internet Archive is cool, but 500,000 books didn’t just get deleted from Anna’s Archive because it is already just illegal. Piracy is not just cool and fun, but actually a necessary cultural survival trait.
Following the law is only going to take you so far. To be blunt, the people who make the world suck don’t follow any laws. Why, then, should the people who want to make the world better?
