When Julius Caesar burned the Library of Alexandria, it was hard to imagine a greater destruction of scholarship. Now, 2,000 years later, some petty, litigious schmucks are ready to deal an even bigger blow to the literary canon.
This is fundamentally a strike against taxpayer-funded public services by corporations and private individuals.
@Khrys The secret is that they pull the wool over your eyes so slowly that it's almost imperceptable. By the time you wonder what happened, it's too late. For example, remember after 9/11 when they wanted to institute a new form of identification called "Real-ID" and everyone said that they were against it, and they weren't going to let it happen? They moved slowly and now we have it and nobody even let out a squeak about it.
