@LexisNexis 2/ "The fear is that a victory for the publishers could..destroy the #WaybackMachine.
No other organization provides a backup to this content, so if it’s wiped out, it’s permanently gone."

@LexisNexis 3/ From @LexisNexis: "Even if the @openlibrary is forced to close, information-access supporters (including many lawyers) hope that the organization can continue the #WaybackMachine and other preservation efforts that publishers aren’t targeting in the lawsuit."
@LexisNexis @openlibrary 4/ Why are lawyers concerned about the publishers' lawsuit?
#WaybackMachine's archived web pages are evidence in thousands of legal cases & patent challenges.
It's an irreplaceable legal tool.
