    It’s because you’re not using that legally bought copy. You’re creating a new copy from that one.

    I love the internet archive, especially when dealing with older consoles and pc’s but I see why there’s a problem. I think copyrighted works should probably still be uploaded but maybe not downloadable until there’s no other way. That way we can upload for posterity without it being linked to piracy. But also that’s an unrealistic moderation nightmare to deal with

      You can copy blu-rays you got from your library. You can scan a book. If the time spend doing so, is your only argument, that’s pretty weak. No offense, that’s just what it is.

        The issue is that if you do personal copies you’re not usually putting them out there for the whole world to see publicly.

          With some exceptions, everyone can visit every library everywhere on earth. It’s not different than a big website, aside of some inconsistencies.
