A New Panzerism
Panzer on the purpose of naps:
Why worry? It's already over.
I never worry about the future.
Never.
By the time I wake up from my nap the future has already come and gone.

In New Filing, Publishers Accuse Internet Archive of 'Stonewalling' Discovery in Scanning Lawsuit - Publishers Weekly
Today Panzer made a quick stop at the Publishers Weekly site. There he found a post about the copyright infringement suit against the Internet Archive. Panzer has been telling you about this case since it started in June, 2020.
What is IA hiding?
According to Andrew Albanese's post, attorneys for the publishers' lawsuit against Internet Archive (IA) have presented a filing to the court that IA is not providing requested discovery paperwork to the attorneys. IA is the subject of a lawsuit by publishers Hachette, HarperCollins, John Wiley and Sons, and Penguin Random House. AI is accused of copyright infringement for scanning the publishers' books and loaning the books without the publishers or authors' permission and without payment. The post includes links to other information about the lawsuit.
Panzer says, "This little kitty wonders if one of the things requested in discovery was the names of the people who "borrowed" the scanned books?"
Note: This is a medium length post. Bring a cup of cocoa and a small muffin for today's reading selection. If you plan to follow the links in the post, bring a thermos of cocoa and four muffins.

A New Panzerism
Panzer on cat philosophy:
The truth is obvious ...
Once it is known.
Mom says I should act with good intentions.
Well ...
That's it for my good intentions.
I'll tell you this ...
The road to the veterinarian's is paved with Mom's good intentions.
And that's the truth.

The Publisher Perspective: October 2021 (Getting Your Book Into Libraries With OverDrive) - Writers and Publishers Network
As Panzer was tootling around in the Catosphere today, he discovered a site named Writers and Publishers Network (WPN). Digging in the posts, he found one about getting your ebooks into libraries.
According to the post by Jay Hartman, authors getting their ebooks into libraries is relatively easy. First, the library needs access to OverDrive. Second, the author needs online access to their local library. Third, the author needs to see if their book is already in the system and, if not, then request the library purchase it. The post includes instructions for the library request process.
I just need a few friends' help.
Panzer says, "Looks easy to this little kitty. Now, I just need to find all my brothers and sisters and cousins and nephews and nieces and aunts and uncles to get them to request my books Cats and Crime and Cat Wisdom for humans. Then, I'll be in every library in the world!"
Note: This is a medium length post. Bring a cup of hot cocoa and a scone for today's learning experience.

We lost our electricity in yesterday's big wind storm here.
It's been a long day.
Today, Mom and What's His Name have been cleaning up the mess from the branches and stuff that fell down from the wind.
We'll be back tomorrow.
