@bloodravenlib A good post, although the future of libraries is grim at this point. https://mastodon.sdf.org/@joeo10/113080709294121356

"If libraries were created today, they won't be allowed to exist thanks to publishers and the copyright cartel." This still rings true.
As far as the Internet Archive goes I feel they're on borrowed time as a organization: https://mastodon.sdf.org/@joeo10/113087049819053975

  I fully expect SCOTUS to not take up this case and I feel the floodgates are officially open for more lawsuits to be filed against the #InternetArchive (@internetarchive@mastodon.archive.org) where they're now on borrowed time as far as a organization goes which would be a sad end. This from five months ago is still relevant: https://old.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/1bswhdj/if_there_is_a_book_on_internet_archive_your/ It's time to prepare for a likely scenario where the #IA won't exist in 2-5 years and we need to find ways to mirror and backup our projects somewhere else.

  As far as #libraries go, what a blow this is for them as a whole as I expect major ramifications for the future of libraries which really doesn't look good. A notable example: https://ninelives.karawynnlong.com/the-coming-enshittification-of-public-libraries/ h/t @karawynn@wandering.shop

  Here's @mmasnick@mastodon.social on this hugely bad ruling for not only the #InternetArchive, the #internet and #digitalpreservation, but for #libraries as a whole. https://www.techdirt.com/2024/09/05/second-circuit-says-libraries-disincentivize-authors-to-write-books-by-lending-them-for-free/ Read it and weep.

  I don't usually link to Bryan due to his questionable views but in this case, he's mostly spot on here except at the end where he blames solely on the IA. "With more legal action on the horizon, how long before Archive.org closes?" https://lunduke.locals.com/post/6079435/the-internet-archive-loses-appeal-as-expected #internetarchive #preservation #digitalpreservation
