The Register: How the Internet Archive faces potential destruction at the hands of Big Four publishers
Quote:The central question in the case, as summarized during oral arguments by Judge John Koeltl, is: does a library have the right to make a copy of a book that it otherwise owns and then lend the ebook it has made without a license from the publisher to patrons of the library?

I'd say it's fucked. Turbo-fucked even.
And of course everything worthwhile on it will now begone because why not? Rather than the problematic parts - everything useful just goes away.
Won't even be able to catch shitbirds in the act of minitruthing old articles now.
