End of Hachette v. Internet Archive | Internet Archive Blogs

While we are deeply disappointed with the Second Circuit’s opinion in Hachette v. Internet Archive, the Internet Archive has decided not to pursue Supreme Court review. We will continue to honor the Association of American Publishers (AAP) agreement to remove books from lending at their member publishers’ requests.

    Is there a reason that Internet Archive has to stay in the United States? Can’t they just set up shop in some place like Russia and say FU?

      I’d think Russia would try to censor a lot of material. And the US and Russia might be on more friendly terms in the next few months with the new president.

      Maybe not now, but I hope after Putin dies or gets arrested, we will gladly host all books on used hardware from Yarovaya’s package and various city-wide survaliance networks. Maybe add some new hardware.
