Er no. I’ve read and remember hundreds of books in my life time. It’s not any more illegal based off scale. The law doesn’t differentiate whether I remember one book or a hundred then there’s no difference for thousands or millions.

No wishful thinking here.

I'm not sure you understood what you said, but superficially it appears that you are agreeing with me?

Just because it's legal to read 100s of books does not make it legal to slurp up every single piece of produced content ever recorded.

We're talking man many orders of magnitude in scale there, and you're the one who pointed out that scale :-/

No I'm not agreeing with you.

>Just because it's legal to read 100s of books does not make it legal to slurp up every single piece of produced content ever recorded.

The law says you're perfectly in your legal right to slurp up every piece of content ever produced.

>We're talking man many orders of magnitude in scale there, and you're the one who pointed out that scale :-/

I'm aware, and the law doesn't talk about scale.

What is "scale" in this context? I think arguably 100 books over the span of decades is not "scale".

But tens (hundreds?) of thousands of books over the span of a few weeks? That's definitely "scale".

the law doesn't talk about scale, so either is perfectly legal. Memorizing a billion books vs memorizing one book. Same laws apply.
