Article note: Yeah, unfortunate, but that was pretty much inevitable. \nThe only way it makes sense is if they're trying to make a larger case (socially and\/or legally) about the unbalanced state of copyright.\nHopefully it doesn't cause problems for the larger IA operation, because it's become essential infrastructure.<\/div>

As a result of book publishers successfully suing the Internet Archive<\/a> (IA) last year, the free online library that strives to keep growing online access to books recently shrank by about 500,000 titles.<\/p>\n

IA reported<\/a> in a blog post this month that publishers abruptly forcing these takedowns triggered a \"devastating loss\" for readers who depend on IA to access books that are otherwise impossible or difficult to access.<\/p>\n

To restore access, IA is now appealing, hoping to reverse the prior court's decision by convincing the US Court of Appeals in the Second Circuit that IA's controlled digital lending<\/a> of its physical books should be considered fair use under copyright law. An April court filing<\/a> shows that IA intends to argue that the publishers have no evidence that the e-book market has been harmed by the open library's lending, and copyright law is better served by allowing IA's lending than by preventing it.<\/p><\/div>
