      As a reminder, there is no author bailout, booksellers bailout, or publisher bailout. The Internet Archive’s “emergency” copyrights grab endangers many already in terrible danger.https://lunch.publishersmarketplace.com/2020/03/internet-archive-grants-itself-emergency-copyright-powers-for-uncontrolled-digital-lending/ …

      We always get back to this, but this is not freedom, this is piracy.https://lunch.publishersmarketplace.com/2020/03/internet-archive-grants-itself-emergency-copyright-powers-for-uncontrolled-digital-lending/ …

      From the @AuthorsGuild statement on the Internet Archive's most recent move. "Publishers, authors, bookstore owners, and readers have been coming together in magnificent ways these last few weeks to support this fragile industry, so much of which relies on razor-thin margins."

      "Bookstores are closing, forced to lay off staff, small publishers are already hurting so badly that some fear going under if the shut own lasts too long. Everyone is working to support one another and especially the bookstores, so vital to our literary culture."

      First steps if you discover your book has been scanned without permission into the Internet Archive. https://twitter.com/jessicacadams/status/1243818765667561473?s=21 …https://twitter.com/jessicacadams/status/1243818765667561473 …

      Thanks Nick. Authors if your books have been scanned and uploaded without your permission do this. #InternetArchive Charity anthology editors too. So @SarahMlynowski what do we think? https://twitter.com/nickearls/status/1243813528777003015 …

          Wow! Minutes ago, I appended my 3A. Then, on perusing your tweet, I stumbled into this. Not that I'm prescient. Just part of the Big Stream.

          Thank you for this. A bigger problem: we had an ebook ripped and put on file sharing sites before. Sales disappeared overnight and have never recovered. This is a danger, too, of PDFs being out there.

          I believe they do have DRM on their files. Doesn't make it more legal, but 🤷‍♀️

          You know they are doing this to help colleges atm right? Some of these are only temporarily available without a library login. They require that for in copyright books which you can "borrow"
