“Library of Alexandria had to be set on fire after publishers’ court win”
I know it’s a dumb idea but imagine how fun it would be if there was no copyright
As much as this sucks, it could have been so much worse. The Internet Archive stays up. It’s important archives of things like industrial and educational films stay up. The Wayback Machine stays up.
So as disappointing as this is, I do have some relief because I thought it could mean the end.
So much of that stuff is public domain material, at least the older stuff like those films and some of the books
Sign the petition! Not sure if it is going to make any difference, but it just takes a couple of minutes. https://www.change.org/p/let-readers-read-an-open-letter-to-the-publishers-in-hachette-v-internet-archive
