Internet Archive's big battle with music publishers ends in settlement

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.

it's frustrating that so many people use the internet archive as pirate file hosting for things that are easy to find elsewhere (legally or otherwise)

it jeopardizes all of their other missions and access to otherwise inaccessible media

It really needs to be at least 2 different organizations.

Preserve the internet, store old websites.

Everything else. The whole "Emergency Lending Library" situation was just strange. A random non government organization can just declare copyright unfair and distribute whatever they want ?

And they acted surprised when the book industry reacted ?

That was adjudicated years ago, and has nothing to do with the case at hand.

It's related, it demonstrates the IA's attitude toward copyright and how it's already gotten them into trouble. The huge amount of pirate content seems to largely fly under the radar, but the Library was advertising that they're not going to respect copyright and it puts the website archives at risk.
