Must be intentional. An accidental library fire doesn't count.

A single person burning a few of their own books doesn't count. Must involve several people and a large number of books, somewhere public or semi-public.

Only events after market creation.

We can make it happen. We can move this market. I believe in us.

Would burning ebooks count?

@Yev Hmm. Tempted to say no, since book burning is primarily symbolic, and burning Kindles doesn't seem quite as meaningful.

predicts NO

@IsaacKing Not clear to me why its any less symbolic that way..

My next question is going to be about burning ebooks onto a CD 😏

@MichaelWheatley Well for one thing, it doesn't actually make it harder for people to access that content.

predicts NO

@IsaacKing Presumably the corollary of that is that burning books that have been digitized also doesn’t make it harder for people to access the content, it’s just symbolic.
