Publishers sued the Internet Archive over its e-book lending practices during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Internet Archive established the National Emergency Library at the beginning of the pandemic to allow wider access to some 1.3 million ebooks.
Publishers contended that going from single-user borrowing to limitless borrowing essentially turned the system from a notional library into unvarnished piracy.
The courts disagreed, and in March 2023 found the non-profit organization liable.
