@gregly that's not why the legal threats are happening at all. it's happening because they decided to "loan" ebooks to people. megacorporations don't care that IA is keeping multiple copies of dolphinsex.org.
I don't like that Internet Archive is putting their entire operation at risk by getting in legal fights they won't win.
It just occurred to me that the #InternetArchive is basically the only thing holding back the persistent bit rot that’s destroying the history of the net… so naturally enormous corporations are attempting to destroy them.
Also, one goal of the push towards ubiquitous cloud computing and the War Against General Computing is to watch every single thing we do, and destroy our ability to copy and spread whatever we feel like, instead of what the corporations decide we are “permitted” to partake in.
