A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
Yeah but the vandal does vandalize. In my country there are tons of shitheads who like to see the world burn and destroy someone else property when nobody is around. Like in some neighborhoods in certain cities you can’t have a mini library in your front yard, since a certain type of teenager will ransack it and set the books on fire.
We do this at a used book store. It's books that we don't think we can sell inside for whatever reason, and we put them on shelves outside. There's a big awning so they don't really get rained on unless it's raining sideways. We sell them for a dime or a quarter, and there's a slot for overnight drops in case people want to get books at night. Every morning there's at least a couple of bucks from the previous day/night.
We donate the proceeds to public radio, and over the years we've donated over $100,000.
Which store is this? It sounds like a great place to hang out.
This is clearly a indoor Bazar with doors that lock on both ends, they leave them out cause it's not technically outside and ain't nobody breaking in to steal some books, shits heavy and probably doesn't sell for all that much on the black market
Yeah it's a cute quote but that's obviously not outside. Jeez
I have stolen books and then read them, so ...
That's not nice. Please don't do that.
You suck
That's pretty smart until you learn that "the thief sells"
Or even "the bored shithead sets fire to things"
I think that's just one way of saying they're not prints worth stealing
One persons treasure is another's trash. I have bought books for a dime that I treasure.
Me, stealing every pdf I can find:
But the reader does not steal, the clear logical conclusion is that piracy isn't theft if you read the book.
Do you read them?
Sometimes 🥲
I also don't steal. I download my books from online copies, which is copying, not stealing.
The epubs in my PIRATED MEDIA folder begs to differ
Piracy is not theft. You have not deprived anyone of something they would otherwise have.
They should learn to read and find out the shit Sheherazade said about them.
The fence? He is friends with the thief and the reader.
Here people even "steal" books from public bookcases and sell them.
For people who aren't familiar, let me explain: These public bookcases are a weatherproof shelf, old phone booth or something in the streets. The concept is you can take any book and leave any book. There are no written rules and you can keep a book if you like or just read it and put it back. In recent years people started to scan the barcodes and checked what books they can sell. There is a debate going on if people should mark these books or not, so they can't be sold.
Mom says it's my turn to post this next week!
At one point you could get swaths of ebooks on pirate bay. Probably still could. With seeders. Soo…we know that’s not true.
piracy is not the same as stealing. You having a copy of a bible as a PDF is fundamentally physically different from having a physical book.
Publishers have perverted the concept of ownership by hiding the fact that there is no scarcity of digital items compared to physcial ones.
Sure looks like a regular Street, you know, with a roof and stuff.
You might call it a shopping arcade. Pretty common in many cities, and likely is a public street, despite having a covering.
