  • Hallucination thought does fit.

    It’s a term in the context of a source that implies untrustworthy, not authoritative and/or imagined.

    Lots of examples in every day usage or scenarios that come to mind.

    “And then I saw the defendant punch the victim and then I was blinded by the sunlight”

    Are you sure you didn’t hallucinate the entire episode? It was night after all.

    Or

    “Somebody please get these ants off of me”

    Doctor writes: Hallucinations of ants on skin








  • I love the internet archive but yeah, there was just no way this wasn’t going to backfire. And by handling things the way they did they damaged the reasonable defense of archivist (not only for themselves) because publishers and others often cite that archival and backups are just “pseudonyms” “synonymous” for piracy.

    They aren’t but the way this was handled made it impossible for them to argue otherwise and it also creates a legal precedent for lawsuits and judgments by publishers against others who are doing such work.
