Can someone explain if this will also affect archival projects hosted on the Internet Archive?

- wayathr0w 2y agoDepends. This case was specifically about a library of books whose uploads were all done or coordinated by IA's employees. That is something different than the various things, including but not at all limited to books, unaffiliated people upload. It's certainly possible "random people's uploads" could come under increasing scrutiny & legal attack as publishing companies are likely feeling emboldened by the victory, but I don't think that's what this specific ruling was about.
