MIT Press wants me to rent the ebook version of Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, Second Edition. You pieces of shit, its a CC BY-SA book, you can go fuck yourselves. If you want me to pay for it then put it back in print you assholes

@emma Yeah, I found one. I was actually looking for an epub, they're on archive.org.

In retrospect I probably could've been a little less vulgar in expressing this but it made me frothingly angry that they're trying to do pull a textbook publisher artificial scarcity scam on a free creative commons book.

Like, at least when I license stuff under copyleft it's specifically so it can be disseminated to anyone who wants it and so there's no artificial scarcity crap around it. I would legit buy a hard copy new though if it was still in print
