• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hachette v. Internet Archive is out: 2nd Circuit rejects controlled digital lending theory; IA's use is not transformative; all four fair use factors favor the publishers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree strongly with your gut reaction. I personally use it as the archive of record whenever I digitize some media that would otherwise be lost. I use it when trying to establish how something looked in the past. I don’t need IA to go out and pick losing fights with publishers at the expense of the excellent services they already provide.

  It should be noted that if you want digital book loans Libby is fine.
