I know Florida, Texas, and other counties have tried and succeeded to ban books, I wonder how that is even legal since we have the first amendment. I tried doing research on this since Huntington Beach is banning books and people were petitioning against that at the main library.

I made a little post asking people to petition on the Orange County sub.

    The Netherlands use the same copyright laws?

    I always assumed that was just the US copyright system

      European copyright laws are different from US ones in many ways, but “life of the author plus 70 years” is definitely a thing in Europe.
