Statement on Flawed Theory of "Controlled Digital Lending" - AAP Newsroom

Today, Panzer found a statement issued by the Association of American Publishers (AAP) about Controlled Digital Lending (CDL).

They're stealing the food from my dish.

The release by the Association of American Publishers (AAP) addresses the issue of the Internet Archive's "Open Library" and Controlled Digital Lending (CDL). The AAP has joined the Writers' Union of Canada, the Authors Guild and the Society of Authors in protesting the Internet Archive's "Open Library" copying and dispensing authors' and publishers' work on the internet without the copyright holders' permission. The Internet Archive does this without compensation to the affected authors and publishers.

Panzer says, "There has to be a way to stop the Internet Archive and their copyright infringement."

Note: This is a h-u-m-o-n-g-o-u-s post. Bring a thermos of tea and a dozen muffins for today's reading selection.
