“CDL is an invented paradigm that is well outside copyright law ... based on the false premise that a print book and a digital book share the same qualities"

No one is stopping any of the following supporters of IA from accessing or borrowing a book, quite the opposite.

Publishers offer the legal certainty for all platforms and users to access licenced, legitimate and high quality books. Look only to the long tail of releases to see what self-publishing looks like - investment in books is what the reader craves. IA pirated 1000s of books in 2020

Protecting authors = bad - yet copytheft denizens espousing the free for all that is CDL, might also have you believe NFTs and other digital "control" - but like music piracy are good for creators, the reality is : IA just doesn't want to pay. It wants to trade on your work.

On the internet there is no usch thing as promotion, everything is distribution.

As for @internetarchive. IA takes you content, seriously.

@netopia Actually, read the liveblog of the court hearing… after all this time, **publishers were unable to prove THAT ANY HARM WAS DONE**.

The judge noted that publisher profits are UP since the time of the launch of the @internetarchive ‘s Open Library- and asked the publishers where the *actual* harm is?

IA is a library *paying* for books from authors and making them available to people via controlled digital lending (CDL). 👍
