Good morning Manhattan. #LetLibrariesOwnBooks #DigitalRightsForLibraries ✊🏻 @internetarchive @brickhousecoop https://t.co/eqVAuH8CaB

[Pascale Chapdelaine @PascaleChapdel1]

Today is the 20th anniversary of CCH (2004 SCC 13) where SCC stated that exceptions to copyright infringement (e.g. fair dealing) are not mere loopholes, they are "user rights", setting (c) law on a new trajectory in Canada that inspired many & resonates worldwide

@elonmusk Thanks for supporting the Internet Archive, @elonmusk, and our mission to preserve digital history. We all built this internet together, so let’s preserve it. #accesstoknowledge #EmpoweringLibraries @InternetArchive

[Center for Democracy & Technology @CenDemTech]

Yesterday, CDT, @publicknowledge, & @LibraryFreedom filed an amicus brief in Hatchette v. Internet Archive, a case crucial for continued existence of library Controlled Digital Lending (CDL), where libraries lend a digital rather than physical book copy.

Today’s lower court decision in Hachette v. Internet Archive is a blow to all libraries & the communities we serve.

But it’s not over—we will keep fighting for the traditional right of libraries to own, lend, and preserve books. Learn more & take action👇 https://t.co/qAwI4tbrNX

[Internet Archive @internetarchive]

We will appeal.

@LoblawsON A ‘basket’ of groceries isn’t $25 and hasn’t been for a while. Not unless you are surviving on rice cakes or the basket is experiencing a shrinkflation situation. 🧺💰

Interminable pause: Government must address harm caused by extension to copyright term https://t.co/vVcPaaXVRn

[Michael Geist @mgeist]

The Canadian copyright term extension represents one of the very worst policy developments of 2022 as the government buried the reform in a budget bill, ignored its own copyright review recommendations, limited access to Canadian culture and history, and added costs to education.

The Canadian version of @kylekcourtney and @diglibcopyright’s excellent controlled digital lending (#CDL) paper was published today in @PartnershipJ!  https://t.co/DqFnBHzswO A🧵 /1

If you have a cough on a train, be kind and wear a mask. People are still weary around any signs of respiratory illness. Don’t open mouth cough like a monster. 😷🫠

My well-loved copy of ‘Journal of a Solitude’ (1973) by May Sarton. She mended my opinion of diarists— I’m looking at you Samuel Pepys. Somehow I managed to miss one in her decades-long series, but borrowing now! https://t.co/scfsxIeT7M #OwnBooks @internetarchive

@lilabailey @carlmalamud I need a thumbs down button for this price point.
