U.S. judge rules non-profit organization Internet Archive’s digital book lending violates copyright laws
A U.S. judge on Friday ruled that an online library operated by the non-profit organization Internet Archive had infringed the copyrights of four major U.S. publishers by lending out digitally scanned copies of the books.
That includes 33,000 titles belonging to the four publishers, Lagardere SCA’s Hachette Book Group, News Corp’s HarperCollins Publishers, John Wiley & Sons Inc and Bertelsmann SE & Co’s Penguin Random House. It argued its practices were protected by the doctrine of “fair use,” which allows for the unlicensed use of others’ copyrighted works in some circumstances.
