  2. Big Media’s lobbyists have been running a smear campaign trying to paint the Internet Archive as a greedy big tech operation bent on stealing books—which is totally absurd. If you’ve ever used the WayBack Machine, listened to their wonderful archives of live music, or checked out one of their 37 million texts, it’s time to speak up. In the wake of this judgment, everyone is showing their support for the Internet Archive’s determination to keep fighting.

    Public #libraries were + still R an important vehicle in the fight for the #democratization of learning.

    This said, there's a second line of defense, so to speak, the @internetarchive:

    Drawback: quite a few things are scanned, some are PDF only, but they even have books very hard to find anywhere else.
    A magic place. 😀

  10. I am too far behind on social media to have noticed the #DigitalRightsForLibraries rally in time. There is a tiny impish part of me that really loves the title/hashtag, just hinting at the missing Management.

    "Missouri Republicans Are One Step Closer To Defunding Public Libraries
    Librarians are worried a retaliatory move from state #Republicans
    would require some libraries to curtail services — or close their doors."

  22. "While IA has its supporters, there are many who view CDL and IA’s National Emergency Library with a suspicious eye, thinking it was pushing the boundaries of traditionally acceptable behavior too far. That suspicion was reinforced Friday evening." @tac_NISO

    Carpenter offers one of the more level-headed takes on the #DigitalRightsForLibraries situation, acknowledging some of the nuances involved while focusing on the bigger picture.

  25. The #internetarchive case: worst outcome they lose, what's the ACTUAL effect of that? No more digital lending + a hefty fine paid to the publishers?
    Just trying to think ahead on this...

  27. The way the world works has changed. Like it or not, people access information through computers and the internet far more often than they do through traditional brick-and-mortar venues. Digitization of these services is not only inevitable, but a boon to society.

    I have been able to take out digital copies of books from my local library for years. What makes the Internet Archive any different from them?
