For you, sure. But there are a lot of communities running entirely there. Our local farmer's market is preorder only, and is entirely run off Facebook. I would have to skip going there altogether.

And it's not viable to propose any alternative. There is no platform, closed or open, where there are enough people registered to be actually usable, and nobody will make a separate account for this.


You're confusing the worth of the book and its content. A book can be valuable (ie a rare bible print), whereas its content is not (we have all the bible variants copied).

German copyright law has no Fair Use. There are copyright exemptions for private or academic use, but commercial use has no such exemption. Books have special protection even according to § 53 (4) b).

It does not have "Fair Use" directly, but things like parody or commentary are allowed to use portions of copyrighted work. There a quite a few paragraphs detailing exceptions: https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/englisch_urhg/englisch_ur...

Sounds like you're saying the same thing.


I can ask you the same. Why don't you accept their politic stance?


Note that while Sweden has a low income inequality, it has one of the worst wealth inequalities in the world.


There's a lot of billionaires, but if they make more money Sweden taxes them.

Sweden doesn't go after the money you have earned already.

There's no standing wealth tax or inheritance taxes that I'm aware of.
