There are very few terms that I could use to refer to the minuscule cadre of mediocre nerd novelists who made this happen that would not get me banned from this site, so i will refrain from doing so https://t.co/LdIkYz2ndu

Internet Archive ends “emergency library” early to appease publishers

Online library asks publishers to “call off their costly assault.” https://t.co/TTkAVzTT4b
I see that the American Association of Preventing People From Reading Books has succeeded in shutting down the National Emergency Library. Great work, @AmericanPublish! That'll teach those darned kids, with their stupid desire to read books! https://t.co/O2tjJnTzGv

Internet Archives is shutting down its National Emergency Library, which made e-books available for free without restrictions. They called it a service for learners displaced by the pandemic. Authors and publishers called it theft. https://t.co/fFW8gUTdWp

I have some thoughts on this and they can be encapsulated by saying that if you wanted to make medical texts free to frontline workers, you didn't have to put EVERYTHING ELSE ONLINE FOR FREE: https://t.co/jjtWjRNcTL

“…commercial publishers chose to sue Internet Archive during a global pandemic… The complaint attacks the concept of any library owning and lending digital books, challenging the very idea of what a library is in the digital world” https://t.co/PE11QAgvBc

In a deceptive and self-serving blog post, the Internet Archive announces that it is shuttering its massively infringing National Emergency Library two weeks early https://t.co/yjuhKEMY1f

Will someone please archive the archive for crying out loud

Internet Archive’s system of letting you borrow content was brilliant and fair. Now we are saying I can’t loan out a text I legally own to another person? That’s overly restrictive and bonkers. https://t.co/ITLbOejUT3
Ah, yes, the venerable tradition of controlled digital lending.

Sorry, you don't get to pirate books and pretend it's a library when authors (the vast majority of with are struggling to make anything near a living wage) are not getting compensated. Check them out from an actual library (ebooks included). https://t.co/ZqNLaa4sfC
The @internetarchive's #NationalEmergencyLibrary will close on June 16th, 2 weeks ahead of schedule.

You can still borrow books, based on Controlled Digital Lending.
We're happy students, teachers and learners of all kinds, have benefited from the NEL.https://t.co/uAZdUkEiOs
You do realize that IA isn't going away, right? Just the temporary program where they handed out copyrighted e-books without compensating the people who wrote them. You can still listen to Jack Benny, FFS. Two minutes on Google is all it takes. https://t.co/pTTKcwQMmK
