A U.S. judge on Friday ruled that an online library operated by the non-profit organization Internet Archive had infringed the copyrights of four major U.S. publishers by lending out digitally scanned copies of the books.
That includes 33,000 titles belonging to the four publishers, Lagardere SCA’s Hachette Book Group, News Corp’s HarperCollins Publishers, John Wiley & Sons Inc and Bertelsmann SE & Co’s Penguin Random House. It argued its practices were protected by the doctrine of “fair use,” which allows for the unlicensed use of others’ copyrighted works in some circumstances.
Seriously, whats the difference if they torrent it, or find another website, or borrow from a library, either way, theyre still getting it for free. You continue not to get paid. Making this an infringement of copywrite just hurts the exposure the writer can get.
Intellectual Property is theft. Period.

Oh well… They shud get none of it. cdnpoli

Sorry….I don’t want dairy that’s packed with hormones. I don’t want meat that’s packed with hormones. It’s bad enough that butter is no longer the same…..it doesn’t soften and shortbread cookies will never be the same.
