The current lawsuit against the Internet Archive

 



This guy wonderfully breaks down the current lawsuit against the Internet Archive.

He suggests that the Archive shut down the ebook lending program that started the lawsuit, and that they offer the publishers suing them a lump sum settlement. I hope against hope that they do that.

Poignant Quotes, Part 2

 "Friends don't lie" - The Hawkins Heroes, "Stranger Things"

"Live Long & Prosper" - a Vulcan philosophy, "Star Trek"

"Be excellent to each other", Bill S. Preston Esq. and Ted Theodore Logan, "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure"

"Maybe you're not evil and it's just the way you're drawn. But you don't even think of me as human, just a pawn. Life for you is one big selfish, everlasting con. It would make this universe much simpler if you were gone"- Beth Smith, "I'm Fine" music video by Whitney Avalon

"'Trust No One.' What an absurd and paranoid idea. Trust shouldn't be given unconditionally, but it should be given a chance to be earned. There is strength in having the humility to work with and sacrifice for others - a strength I now realize was in my brother all along" - Stanford Pines, Gravity Falls: Journal 3 by Alex Hirsch and Rob Renzetti

Aliens Headhunters prologue from Comic Shop News #500

Here's an oddity from Dark Horse's Aliens comics line.  A prologue to the Aliens: Headhunters comic was published in Comic Shop News #500. I did my best to scan the story.  Hopefully, someday Dark Horse or 20th Century will officially reprint this story.  Until then, enjoy my scanning of it.
