APPEALS COURT RULING BACKS BIG PUBLISHERS’ LAWSUIT AGAINST THE INTERNET ARCHIVE
On Wednesday, a three-judge federal appeals court panel upheld an earlier ruling in favor of major book publishers and found that the Internet Archive was guilty of violating copyright law by scanning books and lending them to the public for free.
In its 64-page decision, the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in Manhattan ruled in favor of the lawsuit filed in 2020 by four of the 10 largest book publishers in the world against the San Francisco-based nonprofit Internet Archive and its Open Library project.
