My university outsourced our bookstore to some new company, and they stopped carrying books written by faculty. A faculty member offered to donate copies of their book for the bookstore to sell, and they said it was against corporate policy

Much of my youth revolved around the website ZineLibrary. It went down around Occupy in a massive loss for a movement whose ideas and knowledge mostly doesn't circulate online but in person.
