   Today, we filed our final brief in Hachette v. Internet Archive, the publishers’ lawsuit against our library. For four years we've been fighting for library rights—what our founder, @brewsterkahle, calls “a battle for the soul of libraries in the digital age.” https://blog.archive.org/2024/04/19/internet-archive-stands-firm-on-library-digital-rights-in-final-brief-of-hachette-v-internet-archive-lawsuit/

     @Ray_Of_Sunlight @b4ux1t3 @internetarchive @brewsterkahle In the meantime, backup everything that you want and need now before it's too late to do so in the event they lose (I hope not although it is to be safe than sorry). https://old.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/1bswhdj/if_there_is_a_book_on_internet_archive_your/

     I really, really hope you guys win. I don't want to think about what digital ownership rights will look like otherwise. :(

     @fullfathomfive Be sure you read this. I hope they win but in the event they lose, it's best to backup what you want and need now before it's too late. https://old.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/1bswhdj/if_there_is_a_book_on_internet_archive_your/

     @internetarchive @brewsterkahle

     I'm behind you 100%! Internet Archive has been so helpful to me, getting access to old texts that aren't in print anymore. It's our library of Alexandria, and we can't let these guys burn it to the ground.
