While the Internet Archive is disappointed by this opinion—it was never the Internet Archive’s intention to get into a lawsuit over lending digitized books—we respect the outcome. </p><p>To date, we have removed over 500,000 books from lending on archive.org (and therefore also openlibrary.org). While we are reviewing all available options, this judicial opinion will lead to the removal of many more books from lending. It is important for the Internet Archive and all libraries to continue to have a healthy relationship with publishers and authors.</p><p>Please be assured that millions of digitized books will still be available to those with print disabilities, small sections will be available for those linking into them from Wikipedia and through interlibrary loan, books will continue to be preserved for the long term, and other protected library uses will continue to inform digital learners everywhere."</p><p><a href="https://blog.archive.org/2024/09/21/lending-of-digitized-books/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">blog.archive.org/2024/09/21/le</span><span class="invisible">nding-of-digitized-books/</span></a></p>

I am both devastated and terrified by it. I am hoping the Internet Archive will appeal to the Supreme Court, but I am also extremely cynical about this Supreme Court’s ability to make any good decisions, and frightened by the possibility they could set damaging precedent.</p><p>However, although there is a lot of bad news, it is not all bad. I wouldn’t say any of it is really good news, per se — but it could be worse.</p><p>Some interpreted this recent news about the lawsuit to mean that the Internet Archive or the Open Library will be shutting down wholesale. I haven’t seen anything that suggests that, and would be surprised if it came to it as a result of this case. Beyond this case, there are constant threats to the Internet Archive (such as a separate lawsuit from a group of music industry giantsj seeking $400 million in damages) that could be existential. As I’ve pointed out elsewhere, the Internet Archive’s whole existence pushes the boundaries of copyright law, and so threats like this are a part of the territory. But hopefully, and with our support, they will continue to weather the storm."</p><p><a href="https://www.citationneeded.news/hachette-v-internet-archive/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">citationneeded.news/hachette-v</span><span class="invisible">-internet-archive/</span></a></p>

They can either petition for a rehearing, or petition the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case, an even more intense process, since the court only takes a handful of cases per year.</p><p>“We think the Internet Archive really was serving a transformative purpose and doing what libraries have always done: Loaning out books that they owned to one person at a time,” Gagliano said. “Our take is that it’s absurd that the Internet Archive is allowed to mail me a physical book it owns. The physical publishers can’t stop that. But [the Archive] can’t give me the same content in digital form.”"</p><p><a href="https://www.kqed.org/news/12003819/internet-archives-open-library-faces-uncertain-future-after-court-sides-with-publishers" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">kqed.org/news/12003819/interne</span><span class="invisible">t-archives-open-library-faces-uncertain-future-after-court-sides-with-publishers</span></a></p>
