  • It’s completely accurate. Thos is crazy, I know, but you can have a shit ton of things but only 3 of one specific thing.

    Sometimes sellers get more inventory in when stock is low. Sometimes they don’t. Amazon is just letting you know how many units they have on hand. Actually, they even let you buy units that are still on their way to the Amazon warehouse.










  • I don’t agree. The publisher of the material does not get to dictate what it is used for. What are we protecting at the end of the day and why?

    In the case of a textbook, someone worked hard to explain certain materials in a certain way to make the material easily digestible. They produced examples to explain concepts. Reproducing and disseminating that material would be unfair to the author who worked hard to produce it.

    But the author does not have jurisdiction over the knowledge gained. They cannot tell the reader that they are forbidden from using the knowledge gained to tutor another person in calculus. That would be absurd.

    IP law protects the works of the creator. The author of a calculus textbook did not invent calculus. As such, copyright law does not apply.
