Let Readers Read

#InternetArchive: "Our position is straightforward; we just want to let our library patrons borrow and read the books we own, like any other library. [...] But the publishers suing our library say we shouldn’t be allowed to lend the books we own. They have forced us to remove more than half a million books from our library, and that’s why we are appealing".

Let Readers Read: An Open Letter to the Publishers in Hachette v. Internet Archive:

This Martin Luther King Jr. day, I want to make a plug for the @internetarchive, They offer for free many of Dr. King's books, like Stride Toward Freedom: The Montgomery Story for free on their website.

The central holding of the #InternetArchive court opinion is, if you own a physical book and scan it, you infringed the author's copyright by creating an unauthorized copy—even if you never use both at the same time. (This also implies that printing an ebook = infringement.)

That's quite bad.

Excerpt from opinion: "The crux of IA’s first factor argument is that an organization has the right under fair use to make whatever copies of its print books are necessary to facilitate digital lending of that book, so long as only one patron at a time can borrow the book for each copy that has been bought and paid for. See Oral Arg. Tr. 31:10-15. But there is no such right, which risks eviscerating the rights of authors and publishers to profit from the creation and dissemination of derivatives of their protected works. See 17 U.S.C. §§ 106(1), (2)."

The Fight Continues

Today’s lower court decision in Hachette v. Internet Archive is a blow to all libraries and the communities we serve. This decision impacts libraries across the US who rely on controlled digital lending to connect their patrons with books online.
