    Those companies are such a drag for human society because they are afraid of their bottom line. the Music Industry and Amazon also would have burned down the Library of Alexandria if they had deemed it worrisome to their profit.

    And once again it’s due to Internet Archive going beyond its mandate to be an archive of the internet, and instead trying to become a more blatant form of Pirate Bay.

    I really hate these litigious publishers and copyright has gone way too far, but this is not be the fight that Internet Archive should be picking. It’s going to get itself destroyed and take a vast quantity of irreplaceable data long with it.

      I see the copyright holder of a book asking them to take it down from years ago. No response from internet archive. Feel sorry for the guy and I stopped donating to internet archive since then.

      You’re absolutely right. Archive.org don’t need to fight this fight.
