This is such a tragedy! This is why we shouldn't let corporations do libraries' job.

People should be able to read without fear of corporate surveillance. That's why libraries need to OWN digital books - not just license them from corporate publishers and lend them via corporate platforms

We'd point you to 1984 as a cautionary tale about lack of #accesstoinformation - but we've had to remove it from our lending library due to the publishers' lawsuit 🧐 #LetReadersRead https://t.co/UORy8pcM0L

Incredible thread!

[Fight for the Future @fightfortheftr]

Tomorrow, @InternetArchive will file their reply brief in the suit from major publishers to end the right of IA and all libraries to own and preserve spyware-free digital books.

Reading what they’re replying to, we’ve gotta ask:

Who is the real "Napster" here?

A thread.

At the Internet Archive, this is how we digitize a book. We do this so that everyone, everywhere has access to a great research library. #digitization #preservation #access

quote "What is at stake when it comes to the Internet Archive lawsuit? Not the meager income as authors—for which monopolistic publishing industry primarily is to blame. What is at stake is access to knowledge for everyone, equal opportunity, and the development of imagination."

FAQ: So what does the publishers' lawsuit against our library actually mean for our patrons?

A: More than 500,000 books have been taken out of lending—meaning they can't be borrowed or read—including more than 1,300 banned and challenged books.

I co-authored an article for the American Historical Review (published by Oxford University Press). In the grand tradition of scholarly publishing, I was paid $0 to produce it, but I still feel pretty cool. Ping me for the free-access link! https://t.co/sLfHuN9Z4w

"Public domain" means public domain. Anyone can do anything with our files, without our permission. Many of us would rather not be used to train AI, but they're not doing anything illegal.

@TJStiles_Author @wlp3s0 @neilturkewitz @Y_I_K_ES @ylecun @HachetteUS @HachetteLivre @GroupeLagardere @arnaudlagardere @internetarchive @AuthorsGuild If you actually read the briefs, you would know that the $30 million was for scanning pre-1923, out of copyright books that were bought and owned by libraries. The money paid for the human labor of scanning and cataloging the books.

Wondering how you can support us in our appeal? Tell the publishers we want to buy & OWN (not RENT) ebooks we can preserve & lend for the public good👉 https://t.co/kirmNc9h7w #SellDontSue

Hey, @HachetteUS , @HachetteLivre , @GroupeLagardere , and @arnaudlagardere, drop the hatchet against @internetarchive.
You are on the wrong side of history.
