No wonder they are now being sued. That decision may send them the way of Google Books. I hope it doesn't. Maybe in twenty or forty years we will see an accepted library like Spotify's arrival 15 years after Napster. Archive didn't even have the moral high ground. Authors and publishers deserve to be remunerated for their effort and controlled lending supports that. When that's off the table you're just like libgen.
