   @fmhilton
   Is the entire organization shutting down, or just its e-library program?

     @bruce @fmhilton For now, it's their CDL library but it's surely the beginning of the end fo the Internet Archive sad to say. More here: https://mastodon.sdf.org/@joeo10/113080680465983569

     The Internet Archive has lost their appeal to digitize their books, and so it's going to probably shut down in the next few days. I don't see them taking it to the SC.
     It's very expensive and might totally fail in this court of right wing fascists.
