FTX executive Caroline Ellison is seeking a sentence of time served for her guilty plea on seven charges pertaining to the collapse of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange. Her sentencing submission paints her as someone whose “moral compass [was] warped” by Sam Bankman-Fried.

Seen a couple takes about the Hachette case along the lines of “the Internet Archive should’ve stuck to just archiving the Internet and not testing new theories of copyright” and uhhh... I’m not sure what it is you think the Internet Archive does, outside of testing new theories of copyright.

People have gotten so used to the existence of the Internet Archive’s web archive that they forget how revolutionary and subversive it is. The idea that that is somehow safe while the book lending was not is completely flawed. They were just up against a more powerful group.

The Internet Archive lost its appeal in the Hachette case. What a devastating loss for all of us.

Happy Labor Day. I wrote a Wikipedia article about the gay, anarchist, anti-profit publishing collective Come!Unity Press after stumbling across a poster they printed in 1971.
