  And we need to form an IA backup. Some org that has all of the (non-book) data so if IA goes down, the important content is still available.

  Done. Some quid that I could have spent in a book by Hachette, HarperCollins, Wiley or Penguin Random House went instead to the Internet Archive, and I'll be doing the same every time I plan to buy a book by the above publishers, which I have just put in my do-not-buy-from list. Clarification: not that their reasons were unsound, they're perfectly understandable, but going straight with a lawsuit without other attempts to solve the problem equals to bullying, and I'm not supporting it with my wallet.

    They did first try asking the IA to stop unlimited lending, so they did not go straight to a lawsuit.
