That legal protection is essential to modern librarianship.
I’m happy that this works out in libraries’ favor, but I can’t see how Anthropic managed to slip through “copying for non-commercial, transformative purposes”. Are they a non-profit and I just didn’t know?

Most of what I’ve read about Abundance is a general distrust for their arguments.
Alex Bronzini-Vender says abundance didn't work in practice in Colorado.
David Sirota says the project is a scam because all it does is deregulate corporations without addressing medical care or the social safety net.
He also argues that they ignore the real obstacles to efficiency and abundance: corporate corruption driving artificial scarcity.
