This is why we all freak out about theft btw, bc just a few copies can make an actual, real difference. you would be surprised at how few copies someone needs to make it onto a bestseller list
I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

The thing about "AI" is that before it became a marketing catchphrase by and for the worst douchebags you ever saw over the last few years, it was just a broad field of study that would periodically produce something that was narrowly useful, and it was Completely Fine, Actually.

It’s rarely easy to stand up against an illegal order. I did it for something relatively minor (setting up a fake contract in Afghanistan so the unit could have money to pay informants; illegal but not deadly) and it made my commander hate me (more). It’s still the correct, expected thing to do.

Apparently I am also practicing car hoarding, house hoarding, husband hoarding, dog hoarding, computer hoarding, furniture hoarding and art hoarding.

Crucially, by upholding their constitution and the rule of law, Brazil discovered that support for Bolsonaro evaporated save for a dwindling minority of die-hards and dead-enders. Because Brazilians see Bolsonaro as a criminal and a loser, they've largely moved on from him.

What are you talking about. No. They don't. If publishers considered libraries to be piracy, they wouldn't sell books to libraries.
And you don't have to physically go to the library to request the book. Your make requests on your Libby/Overdrive account.

remember: the same major publishers that define what piracy is, also define libraries as piracy.
And for the library to get even a digital copy, people who go to that library have to actively request the book. After so many requests, then they're put into the system to be allowed copies to lend.
