@sun It's because of this specific legal loophole

@mushroom_soup I looked it up and what the court decided was:

if you duplicate a book you have to destroy the original, because that is "transformative" not a "reproduction" which is a right only the publisher has.

but after you turn it into a digital file, you can copy it as many times as you want.

so this is obviously completely insane because who gives a shit if you have 499 digital copies and one print copy, or 500 digital copies, this is completely because of our stupid copyright system
