Lots of folks in the comments acting like lawful actions, by their very nature of being lawful, are correct actions. Internet Archive took extraordinary measures during extraordinary times when these same four publishers could have done something similar. They should be nationalized, dismantled, and have their archives released into the public domain, as punishment for trying to hoard our collective knowledge to themselves.

It was proposed in the context of the TRIPS waiver: https://www.communia-association.org/2021/03/22/communia-supports-the-wto-trips-waiver-for-covid-19/ https://www.communia-association.org/2021/03/22/communia-sup...

I will agree with the thought, though, that picking a fight you can't win is probably dumb. I doubt the IA would become a martyr.
