Online library drops its legal battle to provide free e-books without publishers’ permission

  • The Internet Archive has ended its copyright case and will not appeal the ruling against it, violating copyright law according to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
  • The lawsuit was initiated in 2020 by four major publishers, including Hachette Book Group and Penguin Random House, alleging illegal free distribution of over 100 books.
  • Maria A. Pallante expressed that the decision confirms that 'controlled digital lending' is just infringement, and the Archive's director stated disappointment but commitment to remove books as required.
