  11. 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.' "

  12. #Journalists are first, but everyone else is next. #Trump has announced multibillion-dollar #lawsuits against “the enemy camp”: #newspapers and #publishers. His proposed #FBI director is on record as wanting to prosecute certain #journalists. Journalists, publishers, #writers, #academics are always in the first wave. #Doctors, #teachers, #accountants will be next. Authoritarianism is as predictable as a Swiss train. It’s already later than you think. theguardian.com/commentisfree/ #mattgaetz #gabbard

  13. Juicy licensing deals with AI companies show that publishers don’t really care about creators

    One of the many interesting aspects of the current enthusiasm for generative AI is the way that it has electrified the formerly rather sleepy world of copyright. Where before publishers thought they had successfully locked down more or less everything digital with copyright, they now find themselves confronted with deep-pocketed companies – both established ones like Google and Microsoft, […]

  14. We are losing vast swathes of our digital past, and copyright stops us saving it

    It is hard to imagine the world without the Web. Collectively, we routinely access billions of Web pages without thinking about it. But we often take it for granted that the material we want to access will be there, both now and in the future. We all hit the dreaded “404 not found” error from time to time, but merely pass on to other pages. What we tend to ignore […]

  15. A German conglomerate, Bertelsmann, acquired Random House in 1998, and, under Bertelsmann, Random House merged with Penguin, one of the other big six #publishers, in 2013. Through these acquisitions and mergers, historically independent houses have become Penguin Random House properties, among them Ballantine, Bantam, Berkley, Crown, Dell, Dial, DK, Doubleday, Dutton, Knopf, New American Library, Putnam, Viking-and Pantheon. The books available to us today are products of the #conglomerate era.

  16. "#VanessaBaraitser states “I've found that #Assange’s conduct is capable of amounting to an offence in the #UK. (…) I don't accept that the mere fact charges are brought in the US demonstrates (…) bad faith.”

    This [seems to argue] that #JulianAssange’s actions (…) fall foul of (…) the UK’s #OfficialSecretsAct 1989, [criminalising #publishers] "who disclose protected, damaging materials and which they have disclosed knowing, or having reasonable cause to believe, would be #damaging”."
