Chris Freeland writes: “Last Friday, the Southern District of New York court issued its final order in Hachette v. Internet Archive, thus bringing the lower court proceedings to a close. We disagree with the court’s decision and intend to appeal. In the meantime, however, we will abide by the court’s injunction. It means that people who are not part of an elite institution or who do not live near a well-funded public library will lose access to books they cannot read otherwise. Because this case was limited to our book lending program, the injunction does not significantly impact our other library services.”
