SF-Based Internet Archive Is Now a Federal Deposity Library. What Does That Mean? - Close All Tabs

There's nothing to say about it.

Panzer  found this post on KQED's Close All Tabs site. The post is about the Internet Archive (IA). If you've been reading the posts here for a while, you know Panzer has been following the copyright infringement court case against the Internet Archive (IA) since it began. IA was claiming they were a library and then making scanned copies of books and letting people "borrow" the copies. This was done without authors or publishers permission. The court case has gone on for years. The IA lost the court case against them and last year decided not to appeal to the Supreme Court.

 

 Morgan Sung's post reports a California senator has designated the Internet Archive to be a Federal Depository Library.
