There is so much pirated material on Internet Archive. They have so many movies with titles directly from the warez groups. I don't think they are done getting in trouble sadly.

The whole "The National Emergency Library" thing from IA makes me wonder if the folks in charge at IA are done with getting themselves in trouble.

That whole saga was absurd and self inflicted.

I'm fairly certain it was to create this platform right here and right now - this is exactly what they wanted, an actual challenge to the record labels authority's.

The 90s ended forever ago - def jam and blah blah, why tf are they still relevant again??

Bc they are a monopoly with like a super legal total control over their distributed products - that doesn't end for like 100 years.

If copyright law changes - who win more than the IA?

THATS why this is happening ;)

I'm not sure that's relevant to the emergency library situation.

They were going to lose that fight from the outset.
