I am not sure if you know how libraries work, but they lend out books by authors for free without these books being copyleft or some open license. It's a public service that's important for keeping people's sources of information free.
The Internet Archive lends out books just like that, no matter what your post describes, whether it's “one to one” or not, doesn't matter.
The IA has three partners. The IA got four books. They're lent out in a limited manner. To claim they're giving out some artist's or scientist's work without respecting their copyright is factually wrong.

You are still missing the point that they are violating the authors' rightful choices. When you work, do you expect someone else to come and arbitrarily distribute your output «for the common good»?
Quote: «whether it's “one to one” or not, doesn't matter». You just admitted that it does not work akin to a library. The piracy model of the Internet Archive «lends» more than the number of physical copies in storage. Maybe you should check how libraries work.
