I admire Brewster Kahle, and I and my company have contributed to the IA’s book efforts before, but this project is a violation of copyright and a danger to writers’ already tenuous ability to make ends meet.https://nyti.ms/2WX8A82
But this is a weak and abstract argument The basic foundation used to argue for CDL, again, was that there was an absolute and inviolable link between the electronic and physical copy - you're only using the "same book" that you physically bought - so it's not piracy

There's been no attempt to verify or even estimate exactly how many extant, unreachable physical copies in brick-and-mortar libraries "represents" and reduce waitlists accordingly, waitlists have just been abolished in favor of infinite simultaneous copies

I can refute this part because I authorized my staff to share our exact record set to match what we could be offering in CDL. OTOH, that has nothing to do with the IA deciding on its own to forgo waitlists during this emergency period.
