They’re in horrible legal ground. What they did was illegal (though not necessarily wrong), but now they’re risking dying on this hill, which will cause people to lose a valuable service. They need to surrender the hill before it’s too late, if it’s not too late already

Yeah. When I heard what they were doing with the library stuff. I thought that was such a weird hill to die on.
Like how could any lawyer tell them they had a chance in hell of breaking copyright law at scale, because of the pandemic?
And they didn’t create a new organization to do this very legally risky thing, they did it under their normal organization not some LLC. Crazy
