It all comes down to a dispute over books.
If even authors themselves appear to be backing away from the battle, why are publishers continuing the suit—and what could it really mean for the internet and its most comprehensive archive?
In controlled digital lending, a library scans each individual page of a physical book that it already owns, uploads a digital copy, and generally allows one patron to check it out for a period of time, according to two members of the Authors Alliance, Rachel Brooke and Dave Hansen. When the digital copy is checked out, the physical copy is pulled from the shelves. That way, only one person is reading one copy at a time.
, identifies as the moment “all these disputes started” around the digitization of physical books began.The Authors Guild lost in that particular case, however. Google was making only snippets of each publication available for search purposes, so Books was a technical fair use case. The IA, on the other hand, offers access to entire volumes—and in the case of the National Emergency Library, fewer barriers to access.
