- ilamont 6y ago> These publishers call for the destruction of the 1.5 million digital books that Internet Archive makes available to our patrons. This form of digital book burning is unprecedented and unfairly disadvantages people with print disabilities. It's a stretch to call this a book burning. It is not a politically motivated campaign to destroy books, or a witch hunt to root out deviant social or religious teachings. It's a dispute over copyright law. In addition, I thought the justification for expanding controlled digital lending was around COVID-19, not rights for people who have low vision. Was this issue a central part of the the IA's reasoning before the lawsuit?
