While not illegal to propose such a law, that would be a bill of attainder, and thus unconstitutional under article 1, section 9, clause 3.

I prefer that to there being some requirement that you provide identification to access the audit logs. Actually, what I would really prefer would be for there to be no need for audit logs in the first place, if there were no system to be audited.

Might I suggest trying to update the app, both the pre-patched one and the patches applied.

I'm not talking about on mobile, I mean I'm being locked out of new reddit even on desktop.

It's also been forcing login to access new reddit, so as far as I can tell the site is just completely unusable for anyone without an account.

You know, and I know you know, that that's never what is meant by saying it's "safer to travel at the speed of traffic". It's tragic to be sure, but it's not a counter argumement against obeying the law.

I would assume they aren't bothering to scan it if it's in the public domain. Much easier to just grab a copy off archive.org or any other website hosting such things, and that's assuming the entirety of the public domain isn't already in the training set.

IIRC destruction of the physical copy to prevent resale while still possessing a copy is required for book scanning to be free use, or otherwise not encounter problems with copyright law. Proceeding to share/distribute those scans, or especially trying to charge money for them, would encounter those exact same copyright barriers.

For the record, while this is very funny, I have seen no evidence that this actually happens.

While that would be nice, unfortunately it would almost certainly run into the very same legal issues that are also causing them to pulp the books after scanning them.

And you'd be safer for it.
