This whole copyright case is a whole load of bollocks. Hope that Internet Archive will fend that off, because otherwise it would be a very tragic loss for the internet.

I wonder how they can fend it off? It seems like their actions were illegal in the most obvious way. I don't think there's much grey area here.

  Imo the goal for the IA must be to haggle down the ridiculous damage claims to something that they can pay via donations.

    I'm hoping that's the case. I'd like to see it settled in a way that preserves IA.

I do too, but my modest annual donations will stop. My support for the organization is about it's mission to preserve material that has lasting importance, not to contribute to a legal make-work program. Why the Internet Archive would risk the entire org in this way is mind boggling. I wonder who on the board or in charge is falling on the sword, which needs to happen.
