An appeals court has confirmed that the Internet Archive violated copyright law by digitizing and sharing books without publisher consent. This ruling follows a lawsuit from major publishers including Hachette and Penguin Random House, who claimed the Archive was unlawfully providing free access to over 100 titles. The court determined that the Archive's lending program, initiated during the pandemic, did not qualify as fair use, marking a significant win for the publishing industry.
