A U.S. judge has ruled that an online library operated by the nonprofit organization Internet Archive infringed the copyrights of four major U.S. publishers by lending out digitally scanned copies of their books.
They sued in 2020 over 127 books, after Internet Archive expanded lending with the COVID-19 pandemic's onset, when brick-and-mortar libraries were forced to close, by lifting limits on how many people could borrow a book at a time.
But Koeltl said there was nothing "transformative" about Internet Archive's digital book copies that would warrant "fair use" protection, as its e-books merely replaced the authorized copies publishers themselves license to traditional libraries. Internet Archive promised an appeal, saying the ruling "holds back access to information in the digital age, harming all readers, everywhere."
