Publishing companies have sued the Internet Archive, alleging that the Archive's e-book digital lending is actually "willful digital piracy."
When libraries closed down during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Internet Archive expanded digitizing books. The so-called National Emergency Library allowed unlimited numbers of readers to check out e-books for a two-week lending period. The publishing houses are suing, saying it hurts authors and is a mass copyright infringement. Lawyers argue that, in just a few clicks, any internet-connected user can download complete digital copies of in-copyright books.
In court, lawyers representing the Internet Archive compared the "controlled digital lending" of the copies to traditional library lending.
