As a long-time supporter and user of the Internet Archive, I must say that this recent turn of events has left me feeling rather disheartened. Having relied on their invaluable service for countless hours of research and nostalgic trips down memory lane, it’s hard not to feel a pang of sympathy for them.
In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Internet Archive faced a significant copyright dispute concerning their policy adjustments for digitizing and lending books. The non-profit organization based in San Francisco challenged the verdict, stating their actions were covered under Fair Use. However, this appeal has been turned down
Internet Archive released a statement on its website following the denial of its apparel.
Hachette vs Internet Archive was spurred on by the latter’s decision to alter its lending policy following massive library closures as a result of the pandemic. While the organization previously capped digital booking lending, it scrapped this restriction and allowed large volumes of users to borrow the same material at the same time. The changes were rolled back after a couple of months following backlash from publishers.
As a gamer and follower of tech-culture, I’m bracing myself for some major updates regarding the Internet Archive as the recent ruling seems poised to shape their future significantly. Keep an eye out for in-depth coverage right here on Shacknews!
