Chuck Wendig and Neil Gaiman aren't individually responsible for what's happening to the internet archive, but it's one of those situations where they were obnoxiously wrong from the beginning and shouldve just shut up. A lotta folks wanna be the visual art equivalent of that.

U gotta artists w/ huge visible platforms who choose to use it to attack fair use, usually w/o actually thinking abt the consequences of those actions or if they actually believe what theyre saying. It's just sad tbh. Chuck Wendig chose to be on the wrong side at the wrong time.

The moral of the story is that if ur an artist of any kind, esp a well known one, dont become so hostile to ppl consuming ur work that u inadvertently become the figurehead of a corporate scheme to destroy public archives.

Gaiman was not at all involved with the IA suit and supported them from the beginning.

I know he wasnt involved in the suit but also he did not support them from the beginning.
