1639277610831060992 | Shout out to @victoriastrauss and Writer Beware for their unflinching and tireless research and reporting.

1638218911786082322 | @victoriastrauss @PublishersLunch It seems weird to me that controlled lending is the focus rather than the mass distribution of authors’ work without proper compensation or permission? Am I misunderstanding the situation? | 0 |
1637990040516034560 | @victoriastrauss Wow. No words. How horrible! 😔 | 0 |
1637989863441027072 | @victoriastrauss Scammers (usually Philippinos) call me at least twice a week since 2017 trying to rip me off. They prey off of honest, unsuspecting , first-time authors. Why can't they get decent jobs and leave us alone? They should all be locked up for good! | 0 |

1638583713595310081 | @victoriastrauss I think it's safe to say that a ruling against IA won't bankrupt it or cause the Wayback Machine to disappear. The idea is primarily being promoted as a way to scare IA supporters, imo. | 3 |

1638227582045790219 | @victoriastrauss @PublishersLunch I thought it was pretty cut-and-dry under current laws that duplicating books without permission is illegal? Seems so weird this is even a thing, particularly with Google getting busted for scanning books like, a decade ago. | 2 |
1638956140389339136 | @victoriastrauss I'd use the term "rapacious" (which I know I have never used before in my entire life.) I saw that when I saw the cover of a book with the discard label from my own local library come up when searching them. | 2 |
