Courts Are Coming for #DigitalLibraries

A federal court recently said the #InternetArchive is not protected by #FairUseDoctrine.

C.J. Ciaramella | From the December 2024 issue

"In September, a federal appeals court dealt a major blow to the Internet Archive—one of the largest online repositories of #FreeBooks, media, and software—in a #copyright case with significant implications for #publishers, #libraries, and #readers.

"The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit upheld a lower court ruling that found the Internet Archive's huge, digitized lending library of copyrighted books was
not covered by the 'fair use' doctrine and infringed on the rights of publishers.

"Agreeing with the Archive's interpretation of fair use 'would significantly narrow—if not entirely eviscerate—copyright owners' exclusive right to prepare derivative works,' the 2nd Circuit ruled. 'Were we to approve [Internet Archive's] use of the works, there would be little reason for consumers or libraries to pay publishers for content they could access for free.'"

The Internet Archive says it will appeal. “Today’s lower court decision in Hachette v. Internet Archive is a blow to all libraries and the communities we serve,” Chris Freeland, the director of #OpenLibraries at the #InternetArchive, writes in a blog post.

Alcuni editori chiedono a #InternetArchive di risarcire fino a $19mln per 127 titoli protetti da #copyright presenti nelle #OpenLibraries, per aver prestato digitalmente libri durante il lockdown.

@software_libero_e_dintorni @paoloredaelli è inquietante come Stallman tratteggi uno scenario tanto attuale. Ma come dice #Coluccini: "il pensiero utopico viene a fornirci un modo per sostenerci sia dal punto di vista psicologico sia da quello pratico. Una sorta di mappa a nostra disposizione affinché, invece di aspettarci semplicemente che il futuro cresca da esso, abbiamo qualche possibilità di dire che ci possano essere sviluppi decisamente alternativi"

Spiare le #biblioteche, spiare gli insegnanti, spiare gli studenti!
No, non parliamo di di organizzazioni malavitose, dittature straniere o di improbabili teocrazie.
Stiamo parlando di case editrici scientifiche...
