          It’s not an attack on libraries or funny, it’s a legitimate point about digital libraries that our repressive regime deems fit to burn regularly.

          So are your local pirates. Where would we be without rippers, uploaders and seeders?

                its a figure of speech, but that’s not important right now.

                Local Libraries allows us to lend media in a social way, and just like the Internet Archive are an important pillar to our society. But thats not how Media Companies see it that way and compares the Internet Archive with Piracy.

                Torrenting is fine and dandy though, so is Soulseeking.

            Libraries are not pirates, and both being our friends doesn’t make them the same thing.
