DoomsdaysCW<p>Courts Are Coming for <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DigitalLibraries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalLibraries</span></a> </p><p>A federal court recently said the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/InternetArchive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InternetArchive</span></a> is not protected by <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FairUseDoctrine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FairUseDoctrine</span></a>.</p><p>C.J. Ciaramella | From the December 2024 issue </p><p>"In September, a federal appeals court dealt a major blow to the Internet Archive—one of the largest online repositories of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FreeBooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreeBooks</span></a>, media, and software—in a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/copyright" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>copyright</span></a> case with significant implications for <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/publishers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>publishers</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/libraries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>libraries</span></a>, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/readers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>readers</span></a>.</p><p>"The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit upheld a lower court ruling that found the Internet Archive's huge, digitized lending library of copyrighted books was
not covered by the 'fair use' doctrine and infringed on the rights of publishers.</p><p>"Agreeing with the Archive's interpretation of fair use 'would significantly narrow—if not entirely eviscerate—copyright owners' exclusive right to prepare derivative works,' the 2nd Circuit ruled. 'Were we to approve [Internet Archive's] use of the works, there would be little reason for consumers or libraries to pay publishers for content they could access for free.'"</p><p><a href="https://reason.com/2024/11/10/courts-are-coming-for-digital-libraries/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">reason.com/2024/11/10/courts-a</span><span class="invisible">re-coming-for-digital-libraries/</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OpenLibraries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenLibraries</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Libraries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Libraries</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PublicDomain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PublicDomain</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DigitalArchives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalArchives</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaybackMachine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WaybackMachine</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ILoveInternetArchive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ILoveInternetArchive</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MemoryHole" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MemoryHole</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/VanishingCulture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VanishingCulture</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CulturePreservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CulturePreservation</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DigitalPreservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalPreservation</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DigitalLibraries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalLibraries</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporatePublishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CorporatePublishing</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BigPublishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BigPublishing</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PublishingMonopolies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PublishingMonopolies</span></a></p>
