Piratnäste säger domstol Från Publishers Weekly In a Swift Decision, Judge Eviscerates Internet Archive’s Scanning and Lending Program https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/industry-news/libraries/articl… Klipp In an emphatic 47-page opinion, federal judge John G. Koeltl found the Internet Archive infringed the copyrights of four plaintiff publishers by scanning and lending their books under a legally contested practice known as CDL (controlled digital lending). And after three years of contentious legal wrangling <https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/industry-news/publisher-news/article/91795-hachette-v-internet-archive-all-our-coverage.html>, the case wasn’t even close. “At bottom, IA’s fair use defense rests on the notion that lawfully acquiring a copyrighted print book entitles the recipient to make an unauthorized copy and distribute it in place of the print book, so long as it does not simultaneously lend the print book,” Koeltl wrote in a March 24 opinion granting the publisher plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment and denying the Internet Archive’s cross-motion <https://www.publishersweekly.com/binary-data/ARTICLE_ATTACHMENT/file/000/006/6197-1.pdf>. “But no case or legal principle supports that notion. Every authority points the other direction.” Jan ---------- Forwarded message --------- Från: Jan Szczepanski &lt;jan.szczepanski63(a)gmail.com&gt; Date: sön 19 mars 2023 kl 21:20 Subject: Är Internet Archive ett bibliotek eller ett piratnäste? To: &lt;biblist(a)lists.sunet.se&gt; Många tycker det, andra tycker inte det. Nu har fyra förlag lämnat in en stämning som bl.a hävdar att Internet Archive “badly misleads the public and boldly misappropriates the goodwill that libraries enjoy and have legitimately earned.” In their view, the archive’s “efforts to brand itself as a library” are part of a scheme to “fraudulently mislead” people, circumvent copyright law and limit how much profit publishers can extract from the ebook market. They describe the Internet Archive as a “pirate site” and its business model as “parasitic and illegal” and characterize controlled digital lending as “an invented paradigm that is well outside copyright law.” https://www.insidehighered.com/views/2023/03/17/librarians-should-stand-int… -- Jan Szczepański F.d Förste bibliotekarie och chef för f.d Avdelningen för humaniora, vid f.d.
