Gregory's Server@cosmictentacle Trouble is: as a result of their 'recklessness' in the name of 'helping during the pandemic' by removing that lending limits, they have put both themselves and the whole Controlled Digital Lending mechanism into hot water.
If they don't win, this could threaten every library that uses CDL to give access to books they own or are no e-copies exist, and will cost them greatly. If the CDL falls they now have to buy and pay for e-copies of everything they already own. 🧵3/4
@cosmictentacle I'm a big supporter of the IA and what they do, but I'm very hopeful that this case is resolved in a slap on the wrist and maybe a fine for breaking the CDL briefly, and not heavier punishment and deep scrutiny of the whole archive, and potential breakdown of the laws that are keeping them alive.
