In New Filing, Publishers Accuse Internet Archive of 'Stonewalling' Discovery in Scanning Lawsuit - Publishers Weekly

Today Panzer made a quick stop at the Publishers Weekly site. There he found a post about the copyright infringement suit against the Internet Archive. Panzer has been telling you about this case since it started in June, 2020.

 

What is IA hiding?

According to Andrew Albanese's post, attorneys for the publishers' lawsuit against Internet Archive (IA) have presented a filing to the court that IA is not providing requested discovery paperwork to the attorneys. IA is the subject of a lawsuit by publishers Hachette, HarperCollins, John Wiley and Sons, and Penguin Random House. AI is accused of copyright infringement for scanning the publishers' books and loaning the books without the publishers or authors' permission and without payment. The post includes links to other information about the lawsuit.

 

Panzer says, "This little kitty wonders if one of the things requested in discovery was the names of the people who "borrowed" the scanned books?"
