i really hate how they call it a 'library', very disingenuous if it's all on their servers and predicated on their fucking license agreements

what if real libraries had to throw away books because harpercollins got pissy. would anyone stand for it? (probably yes)

[-] Jesusaurus@lemmy.world 43 points 10 months ago

You mean like southern states banning books because they are "offensive"?

[-] lightnegative@lemmy.world 42 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Ironically, the christian Bible is one of the most offensive books there is

[-] bort@feddit.de 22 points 10 months ago

because of all the socialist propaganda in it?

and the massive jizzing donkey dicks

[-] doingless@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago

They're actually mens dicks the size of donkeys. Be accurate my dude.

[-] MetaSynapse@kbin.social 9 points 10 months ago

The size of donkeys dicks, or the size of whole donkeys?

[-] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Dick so long you like why it ain't dirty? But it ain't, it ain't.

So that is why my late grandma was Christian!

And the abortions, and the child killing

[-] pearsaltchocolatebar@discuss.online 8 points 10 months ago

Abortion instructions*. The Bible tells you how to force your wife to have an abortion if she cheats on you.

[-] Kase@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

I have never (before) read a single word of that bible, but may I bestow this upvote upon you for so casually and precisely bringing the requested reference.

[-] Kase@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

What the FUCK

[-] pearsaltchocolatebar@discuss.online 6 points 10 months ago

It's the Bible, my dude. That shit is bat shit insane if you read it cover to cover.

[-] VaultBoyNewVegas@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Wait till you hear about the guy who fled Sodom with his two daughters who then got him heavily drunk and raped him because they though god wanted them to.

[-] BCsven@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 months ago

Its because he was wearing a short toga, so he was asking for it

[-] themelm@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago

And the incest and rape and all the foreskin stealing.

[-] rotopenguin@infosec.pub 8 points 10 months ago

Oh, we don't believe God's word in those parts.

[-] Fudoshin@feddit.uk 3 points 10 months ago

Donkey semen.

[-] linearchaos@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

I'm more worried about their definition of buy ;)

[-] Steve@startrek.website 6 points 10 months ago

Are school libraries real libraries?

[-] Jesusaurus@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Would you suggest that a location that houses thousands of books that are available to borrow and/or use for research is not a library?

[-] linearchaos@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

It does seem to be some differentiation, I can't walk into my child's school and check out a book. At least I don't think that would fly. It would definitely not be the norm.

[-] linearchaos@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

They do actually have to re-license their online audio books every so many listens. They have to pay for the same audiobook over and over.

That's why it's a lot better for them to lend out the CDs, a few people are coming in for that.
