EFF - lawyers with good intentions, a bad legal case and bad facts.
vs.
Publishers - lawyers with good intentions, a good legal case and good facts.
IA = good. IA's library service = bad.

Simply put, IA will lose this case* while publicly saying they "won" the case when a settlement is reached where IA keeps the service shutdown (as it is now) and avoids paying infringement fees (publishers are not trying to shutdown the IA)
(e.g. IA arguing its service is a public good, because libraries failed to provide access during COVID, when in reality public libraries dramatically increased online access during COVID)
