Today in "This is why OldPub deserves what it's getting", we see Mary Robinette Kowel and Chuck Wendig falsely call the Internet Archive a "pirate site".
Yes, that Internet Archive. The one recognized under law (thanks California) as a library.
What prompted this stupidity? This.
Announcing a National Emergency Library @internetarchive–1.4 million free books to meet students’ and readers’ needs while schools and libraries are closed at global scale. https://t.co/FB1J2xSeVY and browse the collection at https://t.co/F7gcv0kP7L pic.twitter.com/NW2L0OvfkE

Go ahead, click through. Read the salty fuckwits crying about Muh Copyrights like they know what they're talking about. Yeah, even self-important organizations got in on this, ignoring that procedures exist if something is included in error.
Really, you OldPub faggots are embarrassing, and I cannot wait for this to blow up in your faces. You're shitting on a library and archive doing its mission, defaming it falsely as a pirate site. Eat a bag a dicks, all of you, and die in nuclear fire. The Internet Archive did nothing wrong.
Oldpub has been pretty shameless in e-begging since Corona-chan came to town. This is not even the most tone-deaf of the self-marketing attempts I've seen.
