I am both devastated and terrified by it. I am hoping the Internet Archive will appeal to the Supreme Court, but I am also extremely cynical about this Supreme Court’s ability to make any good decisions, and frightened by the possibility they could set damaging precedent.</p><p>However, although there is a lot of bad news, it is not all bad. I wouldn’t say any of it is really good news, per se — but it could be worse.</p><p>Some interpreted this recent news about the lawsuit to mean that the Internet Archive or the Open Library will be shutting down wholesale. I haven’t seen anything that suggests that, and would be surprised if it came to it as a result of this case. Beyond this case, there are constant threats to the Internet Archive (such as a separate lawsuit from a group of music industry giantsj seeking $400 million in damages) that could be existential. As I’ve pointed out elsewhere, the Internet Archive’s whole existence pushes the boundaries of copyright law, and so threats like this are a part of the territory. But hopefully, and with our support, they will continue to weather the storm."</p><p><a href="https://www.citationneeded.news/hachette-v-internet-archive/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">citationneeded.news/hachette-v</span><span class="invisible">-internet-archive/</span></a></p>

They can either petition for a rehearing, or petition the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case, an even more intense process, since the court only takes a handful of cases per year.</p><p>“We think the Internet Archive really was serving a transformative purpose and doing what libraries have always done: Loaning out books that they owned to one person at a time,” Gagliano said. “Our take is that it’s absurd that the Internet Archive is allowed to mail me a physical book it owns. The physical publishers can’t stop that. But [the Archive] can’t give me the same content in digital form.”"</p><p><a href="https://www.kqed.org/news/12003819/internet-archives-open-library-faces-uncertain-future-after-court-sides-with-publishers" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">kqed.org/news/12003819/interne</span><span class="invisible">t-archives-open-library-faces-uncertain-future-after-court-sides-with-publishers</span></a></p>
