You know, one of my profs will allow us to bring any material we wish to the exams, save for anything that violates copyright i.e. you can bring the book but only if you buy it legally. Is there literally any reason for him to do that? I always thought the copyright narcs COULD do something.
Sometimes professors are getting cutbacks from publishers or were involved in the book themselves (like I had a Latin teacher who’d worked on the textbook he used, although he’d give out printouts from it and I was the only person in the class to have a copy - completely coincidentally I might add, because I’d just picked it up in a bookstore alongside other language books the year before; it’s still on my shelf alongside books on Russian, Greek, and a pile of translation dictionaries for different languages; I don’t believe he was getting royalties, though, he was just a credit in it although to hear him tell it he’d practically written that entire version himself), and some just have lib brainworms about IP. Like I had few professors in college who were completely deranged, including one who was literally a right wing talk show host who started the first day by ranting about the Duke Lacrosse case and “the partisan conspiracy against white men” - I dropped his class and took a physics credit in that slot instead.
zlib painted an additional target on their back by asking you to pay for a premium plan that let you download more books per timeframe
yea thats always the real kicker. I know there were some ROM sites Nintendo sued and the big problem was charging money. If youre just hosting and sharing i think its likely little happens except a cease and desist.
Library of Alexandria but :amerikkka-clap:
I love how the state is nimble and capable enough to do something un-cool. The state can never seem to make life better but is always equipped to do stuff like this.
Does libgen have a mirror of the Z-lib content?
