    Uhh what? I’m pretty sure libraries in Europe can’t do that. Do you mean they can photocopy any book they own…?

      Not sure how exactly it worked, but some time ago in Russia it was completely legal for library to copy book, but it seems now laws became more strict. Probably some member of United Russia got a shiny new yacht.

        That might be legal in Russia, but not in EU or elsewhere in Western Europe. My partner works in a library in UK and copyright stuff is a big problem.

          Out of all shit gosduma makes, this is the best thing they thought about.

          Altenatively if you are pro strong copyright: make copyright inallianable and belonging ONLY to people who directly created stuff.
