      Chuck Wendig didn't cause this JFC If you don't think that publishers were aware of this issue until Chuck Wendig tweeted about it you're really, really not qualified to talk about ithttps://twitter.com/coopercooperco/status/1271420782133030913 …

      Pretty cool that Chuck Wendig decided to play cop on the Internet Archive, so not only did they end their TEMPORARY unlimited lending program (the tweet you see going around) but the lawsuit his shit caused has put the ENTIRE archive in jeopardy. https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/5dzg8n/archiving-the-internet-archive-sued-by-publishers … pic.twitter.com/1ge7kpls9U

      "Controlled digital lending" was always a very, very shaky legal concept that the Internet Archive pretty much made up on their own in their boundless self-confidence

          And the "emergency library" lifting their self-imposed restriction on extant copies - the ONE BIG THING their WHOLE ARGUMENT that CDL is fair use relies on - was throwing the gauntlet right in their faces

          It was basically "Do you have the guts to sue over this or do you concede that we have the power to write new copyright law on the fly"

          Are you serious? Libraries use time based digital lending, and so do a shitload of other online services.

          I think his point is that this is different because it's based on mere possession of a retail copy of the book rather than a special agreement that they paid an exorbitant price for [e.g. 4x retail price for an agreement that only lasts two years]

          I remember when they started that project. They were trolling for a lawsuit then, secure in their righteousness and their belief that could create new copyright law the way they. And honestly? It was a likely enough possibility the big publishers said yeah go ahead.

          It has been About 15 years,plenty of time to make their lawsuit bait project a legally distinct entity, so when they pull this crap oh, it doesn't threaten the actual internet archive.

          What is shaky about it? It is as shaky as "lending books", cause it is the same thing. But if publishers want to argue that the digital books they sell are not really books, that will be interesting.
