I don’t think that they did. But for the sake of discussion, I also don’t think it’s irresponsible. If copyright law is horribly broken (I agree), the most likely remedy is in court. You can’t get to that remedy with a case which has a reasonable chance of success if you don’t take that chance.
- kelnos 4y agoSo you're saying that challenging copyright law by breaking it is worth the (IMO fairly probable) possibility of being hit with a fine that could destroy IA's ability to continue their primary mission of preserving digital and physical history? I really just cannot agree with that. IA shouldn't be broadly challenging copyright law; at most they should be challenging laws that interfere with their primary mission.
