That's not the case here.
The IA lost the case because the testified in court they didn't actually check and had never built a mechanism to check that the libraries involved weren't letting out the physical books at the same time.
They didn't do even the very basic of legal scholarship on the copyright situation for uncontrolled lending.
- Mezzie 4y agoLegally, the IA is in the wrong here. (I hate it because morally I side with the IA but yeah the courts aren't going to.) I was just addressing the 'how did they survive this long'? part. It's basically the flip side of places that leverage their superior legal resources to draw out lawsuits to get the other side to drop them/make them not worth the time. "We're going to be such a pain in the ass you're just going to quit out of sheer frustration." Personally, I think the IA fucked up really hard here.
