Although the United States Court of Appeals have determined that HathiTrust and Google's massive deriviative works are fair use--
Authors Guild, Inc. v. HathiTrust, No. 12-4547-cv [755 F.3d 87] (USCA-02 2014) ([I]n providing this service, the HDL does not add into circulation any new, human‐readable copies of any books. Instead, the HDL simply permits users to “word search”—that is, to locate where specific words or phrases appear in the digitized books. Applying the relevant factors, we conclude that this use is a fair use.)
Authors Guild v. Google, Inc., No. 13-4829-cv (USCA-02 2015) ([W]e conclude that Google’s making of a complete digital copy of Plaintiffs’ works for the purpose of providing the public with its search and snippet view functions (at least as snippet view is presently designed) is a fair use and does not infringe Plaintiffs’ copyrights in their books.)
For libraries and archives, they also have 17 U.S.C. sec. 108. Limitations on exclusive rights: Reproduction by libraries and archives. A broad exemption that the Internet Archive would likely assert [and likely satisfy]
