That's the problem with the books that were the reason for the lawsuit, they were complaining that the Internet Archive was lending books that are available to be purchased and gaining money from it, directly or indirectly. As the books were direct copies scanned from the original physical books, the publishers could, besides the authors, claim copyright infringement.


I don't think the situation is the same.

PS: have you tried Project Gutenberg? Those are really free.

I have not heard of that one, I will check it out!  Thank you!
The earth provides everything we need.
We thought we could do better.
We were wrong.
