Nah, libraries are theft. When you borrow a book from a library and you read it, then you have stolen a book from the publisher. Then you give it back and the next person comes along and reads the same book, stealing even more from the publisher.
First time I’ve ever seen anyone speaking out for publishers and against lending and borrowing. You’re even ignoring how authors only get less than 10% of sales while publishers get 90% or so.
Yup. Tbh, memory in general is theft. You should not be able to have the memory of the book you read unless you keep paying for it. Really should be introducing subscription models for memories of experiences, like reading. Otherwise it’s lobotomy for you.
If you read the book really fast, you can read it multiple times, costing the publisher even more. If you read it enough times, you could even force the publisher into bankruptcy.

Best option is to just buy the book and not read it! That’s the best option for the publishers.

I believe they are speaking in jest, hence the comical premise and imagery which is a reversal of a common meme used to criticize capitalism.
Maybe. There’s no real way to know anymore with all the batshit crazy opinions people genuinely hold.
Ok. Sometimes I don’t bother trying to tell apart a joke from a real concern. I mean, who knows what a struggling publisher would say. No worries.

Please…please don’t give them ideas.
Give them any idea and then stop the shitty ones.

Stallman would be proud lmao.
Your meme has inspired me to renew my library card.
We should all aspire to be the Oceans 11 heist of having a library card.
