Good breakdown from the great Kyle Courtney on the Internet Archive's Open Library appeal. Worth a read

Screen capture of paragraph from the decision: "This appeal presents the following question: Is it “fair use” for a nonprofit organization to scan copyright-protected print books in their entirety, and distribute those digital copies online, in full, for free, subject to a one-to-one owned-to-loaned ratio between its print copies and the digital copies it makes available at any given time, all without authorization from the copyright-holding publishers or authors?

Been said before but always bears repeating - a big thank you and round of applause to those authors supporting the @internetarchive! We need to stop thinking about digital libraries in analog copyright terms and seeing #ControlledDigitalLending as a threat! #LibraryLeadersForum
