    The outcome was completely obvious, and I blame Internet Archive for poking this bear. They had no reason to do this, and they are putting their actual core mission at risk in the process.

      Yeah internet archive is fucking stupid for this.

      And they sold access to the books they stole via a subscription? I mean… yeah. That’s gonna get you sued

        Where was it mentioned that they sold a subscription to access to copyrighted materials? They sold a subscription to their web archiving service.
