An appeals court upholds a ruling that an online archive’s book sharing violated copyright law
- The Second Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against the Internet Archive, rejecting its claim that digital lending of e-books constituted fair use, which they argued was similar to traditional library services.
- Judge Beth Robinson stated that the Internet Archive's copies did not provide transformative content and served the same purpose as original works, undermining its fair use defense.
- The court affirmed a lower court ruling, permanently blocking the Internet Archive from distributing all electronic books, asserting it threatened publishers' rights and revenue.
