At its core, the reason publishers are going after the Internet Archive isn't that its actions have lost money for authors. It's that publishers want to delegitimise the concept of owning a digital copy of something.

I fairly regularly need older/more obscure stuff that I can't immediately get through the libraries I have access to. This is especially frustrating when a digital version exists but is paywalled.

Preparing my last seminar, I was very happy I could borrow a crucial title from @archive.org The alternative would have been to buy it for 10% of my total pay from Abebooks and have it shipped around the globe Or not use it at all
