Ugh, Is Google too then?
EDIT: Misunderstood OP, it appears he/she was being sarcastic.
- mattnewton 8y agoI read gp as sarcastically pointing out how this would destroy a nonprofit.
- detaro 8y ago> why it should be immune from prosecution I don't think the parent is raging against the Internet Archive, just pointing out the legal problems of what it does. Strict copyright law will destroy archives.
- vanderZwan 8y agoLibraries tend to have (some) exemptions to such laws, no? And the Internet Archive is recognised as a library AFAIK
- DanBC 8y agoEducational or scientific repositories are probably exempt. https://www.politico.eu/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Copyright-compromise-amendments-V6.pdf https://www.politico.eu/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Copyright...
- ghaff 8y agoSome limited exceptions. Section 108. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/108 https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/108 But these don't really address digital archives as the Copyright Office recognizes. https://www.copyright.gov/policy/section108/ https://www.copyright.gov/policy/section108/ Presumably the Internet Archive is considered a library, museum, or archive although I don't know if there are specific technical factors that would make them one or if it's more of a "know it when you see it" situation in the event of a dispute.
- gcb0 8y agowait, are you trying to defend internet archive by comparing them to google? it should be the other way around. in the sense that I'd be ok with the archive getting an exception and google (and specially youtube) not.
