      Some awful Joss Wheedonesque writer who penned some awful Star Wars book and who tried to sue archive.org into obilvion because he fundamentally misunderstood how libraries worked. Predictably, a massive :warren-snake: stan

        The insane part is that afaik archive.org does not give you access to copyrighted material unless you're granted it by like a publisher or library. So he was literally suing the concept of public archiving lol.

          Aye, and he insisted that libraries would have to pay him royalties for his work, which again, is not how libraries work. :shrug-outta-hecks:

          At the time archive was trying to do a sort of internet library thing where they "lend" people pdfs (with drm, if i remember correctly). The idea was to lend at one time only as many digital copies as they physically owned, but with peak corona demand they waivered that rule. In the end of the day the whole operation wasn't technically legal, which is why they folded when hit by the Wendig lawsuit.

    The only thing I really know about Chuck Wendig is that, when he was working for Marvel Comics Star Wars’ line, he posted a tweet where he wished Mitch McConnell would drop dead. The online right worked up a froth insisting that Wendig had posted a death threat against conservatives, and it started getting mainstream attention. Marvel fired Wendig. Then Wendig publicly accused his editors at Marvel of being fascist collaborators. It was all pretty funny.
