I trust #InternetArchive with government documents more than I do the government! (Or #AI for that matter...)
Internet Archive is now an official #USGovernment document #library
by Steve Dent
Fri, July 25, 2025"The US Senate has granted the Internet Archive federal depository status, making it officially part of an 1,100-library network that gives the public access to government documents, #KQED reported. The designation was made official in a letter from California Senator Alex Padilla to the Government Publishing Office that oversees the network. 'The Archive's digital-first approach makes it the perfect fit for a modern #FederalDepositoryLibrary, expanding access to federal government publications amid an increasingly digital landscape,' he wrote.
"Established by Congress in 1813, the Federal Depository Library Program is designed to help the public access government records. Each congressional member can designate up to two libraries, which include government information like budgets, a code of federal regulations, presidential documents, economic reports and census data.
"With its new status, the Internet Archive will be gain improved access to government materials, founder Brewster Kahle said in a statement. 'By being part of the program itself, it just gets us closer to the source of where the materials are coming from, so that it’s more reliably delivered to the Internet Archive, to then be made available to the patrons of the Internet Archive or partner libraries.' The Archive could also help other #libraries move toward #DigitalPreservation, given its experience in that area.
"It's some good news for the site which has faced legal battles of late. It was sued by major #publishers over loans of #DigitalBooks during the #Coronavirus epidemic and was forced by a federal court in 2023 to remove more than half a million titles. And more recently, major music labels filed lawsuits over its #Great78Project that strove to preserve #78RPM records. If it loses that case it could owe more than $700 million damages and possibly be forced to shut down.
"The new designation likely won't aid its legal problems, but it does affirm the site's importance to the public. 'In October, the Internet Archive will hit a milestone of 1 trillion pages,' Kahle wrote. 'And that 1 trillion is not just a testament to what libraries are able to do, but actually the sharing that people and governments have to try and create an #EducatedPopulace.' "

Internet Archive vs. Music Labels: $600m+ Copyright Rift Edges Toward Settlement

#Music labels will regret coming for the #InternetArchive , sound historian says
On Thursday, music labels sought to add nearly 500 more sound #recordings to a lawsuit accusing the Internet Archive (IA) of mass #copyright #infringement through its #Great78Project, which seeks to digitize all 3 million three-minute recordings published on 78 revolutions-per-minute (RPM) records from about 1898 to the 1950s.

On the other hand, they produce either zero (in the case of out-of-print recordings) or very little revenue for labels.
The @internetarchive, a public library, has preserved over 400,000 of these recordings through its #Great78Project. Like every library with a sound recording collection, the Archive lends out access to these recordings to people with library cards:

"...the Great 78 Project, a community effort for the preservation, research and discovery of 78 rpm #records that are 70 to 120 years old...
Through the efforts of dedicated #librarians, #archivists and sound engineers, we have preserved hundreds of thousands of recordings that are stored on shellac resin, an obsolete and brittle medium. The resulting preserved recordings retain the scratch and pop sounds that are present in the analog artifacts; noise that modern remastering techniques remove...
These preservation recordings are used in #teaching and $research...
“When people want to listen to music they go to Spotify. When people want to study sound recordings as they were originally created, they go to libraries like the Internet Archive. Both are needed. There shouldn’t be conflict here.”

(The #Great78Project says it has over 400,000 recordings in its collection. This lawsuit appears to be over a subset of that collection that the plaintiffs say they're currently offering commercially, and that they allege the defendants are providing online streams and downloads for in violation of #copyright law.)

CourtListener now has a cover page for the #copyright lawsuit UMG and other record labels filed against #InternetArchive and related parties on Friday over its #Great78Project. It includes the complaint (which I'd also linked to earlier) and various related documents filed by the plaintiffs (including a listing of over 2500 sound recordings "at issue"): https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/67687248/umg-recordings-inc-v-internet-archive/ Some documents have not yet been added from PACER, and there isn't yet any response filed by the defendants.
