Authors Guild Petition to Close the National Emergency Library - Authors Guild

When Mom wasn't looking Panzer checked her email account and found an email from the Authors Guild about the Internet Archive's (IA) National Emergency Library. Panzer has posted about the Internet Archive and its National Emergency Library before.

It make this little kitty so angry.
According to the email Mom got, the Authors Guild has put together a letter to the Internet Archive asking them to close the National Emergency Library. Some of the reasons listed in the letter are that the National Emergency Library isn't a library at all it is a piracy site instead. This is because the site is committing copyright infringement by having authors' copyrighted works for free download without the authors' permission and without payment to the authors. After you read the letter there's a place at the top to the right to add your name and email to submit your name to the letter. (Be sure to click Submit.)

Panzer says, "It's not a library! Libraries don't steal the books!"
