Hachette sued IA when IA started distributing scanned content in an unlimited way, essentially providing online piracy, under the name "National Emergency Library".
They were not sued or threathened before this point.

Finally this "500k books banned" malarkey is an outcome of an agreed negotiation. If IA didn't agree on this, they could continue litigation.
