Gregory's Server@dawae @malteengeler Copying full books without permission and making them available for free is similar to scraping the internet and using images without permission. In either case, the artist should be compensated and agree to the terms of use. The Internet Archive used the emergency as a pretence to try and undermine the most basic copyright protections on books.

@dawae @malteengeler They did not maintain that 1-copy policy when they made the NEL: “The Open Library lent the books to one person at a time—but the NEL removed this ratio rule, instead letting large numbers of people borrow each scanned book at once.” https://www.wired.com/story/internet-archive-loses-hachette-books-case-appeal/ |

it exactly what a library do
