A federal judge has sided with four publishers who sued an online archive over its unauthorized scanning of millions of copyrighted works and offering them for free to the public.
Judge John G. Koeltl of U.S. District Court in Manhattan ruled that the Internet Archive was producing"derivative" works that required permission of the copyright holder.
"Libraries are more than the customer service departments for corporate database products," Internet Archive founder Brewster Kahle wrote in a blog post Friday."For democracy to thrive at global scale, libraries must be able to sustain their historic role in society — owning, preserving, and lending books. This ruling is a blow for libraries, readers, and authors and we plan to appeal it.
In a statement Friday, the head of the trade group the Association of American Publishers, praised the court decision as an"unequivocal affirmation of the Copyright Act and respect for established precedent.
