From @communia_eu: "The [Hachette v. Internet Archive] decision highlights more general problems with the e-lending business model, not just in the US but also in the EU....Six issues stand out in particular:" 🧵
"1. Licensing contracts expire and need to be renewed after a certain number of loans, in theory simulating the physical degradation of books, but leading to disproportionate prices overall."
"2. Many ebooks are only licensed to libraries after a windowing period to avoid competition during the market introduction of a book, leading to undue delays for library users."

This is why libraries need to be able to own digital media instead of just renting it from corporate landlords…who is preserving these shows?
Disappearing titles are bad for libraries & the patrons we serve. Libraries want to #OwnBooks.
With VHS & DVD, libraries could buy sets, lend to patrons & safeguard copies for cultural posterity. With streaming, the shows just vanish 👻 We don’t want books to suffer the same fate! We want a digital future for libraries where they can own & preserve digital books. #OwnBooks

A group of intellectual property law professors lead by @rtushnet submitted a “friend of the court” brief in support of @internetarchive and controlled digital lending today in our case against Hachette, PRH, HarperCollins and Wiley. 🧵eff.org/document/hache…
@rtushnet 2/ The law professors’ brief notes that nonprofit libraries “serve important democratic interests” and “enable a richer, more democratic culture.”
3/ They explain that, in contrast to @internetarchive’s CDL, the publisher’s “putative licensing alternatives regularly come with policies that harm the larger mission of libraries to preserve information and make it available to citizens on a nondiscriminatory basis.”
