The Case of the Internet Archive vs. Book Publishers - The New York Times

Good coverage of a worrying development. I’m sympathetic to authors’ worries here, but I also think they’re wrong. If digital is different than the physical, copyright considerations need to be more generous, NOT stricter. The Internet Archive is an important service, and I’m worried about the future.

One of my favorite students will always be the undergrad from a few years ago who expressed outrage when I explained that researchers frequently have to sign over the copyright to their own studies.
I dream of a world where IP laws are liberalized to the point that libraries can provide their own, publicly-funded streaming services.
