Article note: This is a serious fuckin' problem. \r\nThe Internet Archive is unbelievably valuable, but they've put themselves in a position that is clearly legally (but, I would argue, not by any other standard) in the wrong due to decades of copyright-maximalist legislation, and the publishers seem incentivized to go after them for a variety of horrible reasons.<\/div>

The Internet Archive has ended its National Emergency Library programs two weeks earlier than originally scheduled, the organization announced in a Wednesday blog post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"We moved up our schedule because, last Monday, four commercial publishers chose to sue Internet Archive during a global pandemic,\" the group wrote. The online library called on publishers to \"call off their costly assault.\"<\/p>\n

But that doesn't seem very likely. The Internet Archive isn't ending its online book lending program altogether. Instead, the group is returning to a \"controlled digital lending\" (CDL) model that it had followed for almost a decade prior to March. Under that model, the group allows only one patron to digitally \"check out\" a book for each physical copy the library has in stock. If more people want to read a book than are physically available, patrons are added to a waiting list until someone checks the book back in.<\/p><\/div>
