>>15517062
There's tons of ISIS propaganda

>>15517044
Die of what exactly?

>Oy vey how dare the goyim get knowledge for free!

Jews are pure evil.

>>15517094
I don't know.

>>15516994
Honestly this isn't even a big deal. This only affects recent books or books that were part of the lending programme. All the interesting, rare, old books are part of university of public library collections and there's no way to take those down. Who cares

>>15516994
Why the fuck did they do that anyway, why did they have to endanger their position with the lending?

>>15517112
Yeah, though it's difficult to find all those pdfs when they are spread across hundreds of library sites, it's better when they're all in one place

>>15517062
i cant even begin to count the number of times internet archive had a book or article that i couldnt find on libgen,torrent sites,blogs,or premium tracker sites, its that valuable for me as someone who pirates books without a moral fiber telling me otherwise not to.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THE 26000 BOOKS OF THE "French National Institute For Agricultural Research"

>>15517129
This lawsuit isn't going to take down the books libraries have put on archive, or is it? from my understanding it won't, since the publishers have no rights on those books

>>15517155
what exactly is the fallout from the lawsuit then ??

>>15517155
If they make the archive go bankrupt and the site is closed, the pdfs that were supplied by the libraries are going down as well.

>>15517177
fuck you're right.

itt we post interesting books. i'll start with https://archive.org/details/americancolonial00dick

Nah, this could really put them in a bad place in terms of funds available for storage and the like.

>>15517129
>spread across hundreds of library sites, it's better when they're all in one place
This made me smile. Glad people are finding some use of the content we put on IA over our institutional repositories.

I'd suggest you bookmark Hathi Trust instead. It's got most of the content we scan with IA but it's much better funded and supported by large universities.

>>15517154
Actually chuckled out loud and showed this to my girlfriend who is also a librarian. We scan so much shit like that.

>>15517328
The site is always kinda shitty. Again, really recommend Hathi Trust instead. Yeah, less ISIS propaganda but still a good place to check. Most of the Google books scans are also in there.

is there a way to download webpage captures from the wayback machine?

>>15517062
They're the guys rinning the wayback machine.

>>15517483
I don't believe so. There's back ups/mirrors around the world, but they have a kind of archival darknet where they hide websites that request it in their robots.txt.

>>15516994
Let's open a gofundme or whatever you call it.

wait so will this also shut down the wayback machine? that's some pretty serious censorship

>>15517556
Their owner is a multimillionaire.

>>15517608
I'm sure someone would find a way to keep the Wayback working. It's one of those "too big to fail" pieces of infrastructure.

>>15517608
That's not censorship, that's idiocy on the part of the Archive that can make them go bankrupt and thus unable to keep the site up. Stop calling everything you don't like censorship.

>>15517627
nonsense, there's a ton of stuff on the wayback that is inconvenient for people that rely on "memory holing" things

there's quite a few people who would breathe a sign of relief if it went away

>>15517646
Except that the accusation against them is based on something completely unrelated, on an obviously retarded move, and they've already been warned and gotten complaints for it - around a month or two ago, when corona was just starting to hit the US properly.
It's such blatant stupidity that they almost deserve it, honestly, and I say that as someone who finds the site immensely useful. Don't fuck around and risk shit if you have such a valuable database in your hands.

>Penguin Random House is attacking them
Wew lads, it's over. These guys are the Disney of the book world.

It's literal petabytes of data

>>15517712
A lot of stuff on there is large PDFs and the OCR'd formats are unreadable.

>>15517734
Why do they even both OCRing books when it never works? Why does every PDF I download from them have a massive filesize and take forever to load?
I'd rather they spent their time optimizing the PDFs instead of creating a bunch of incomprehensible plaintext files no one will ever download.

>>15517154
Flaubert taught me to fear the verbosity of the French agricultural bureaucracy.

>>15516994
But porn is permissible? lmao

>>15517402
That's why they want to get rid of it anon. Their ultimate end goal is to destroy all books written before 1950.

>>15517753
>Why do they even both OCRing books when it never works?
Because sometimes it does work if the font and print are legible enough.

it helps build search capabilities so even if the output text isn't 100% legible you can still find some of the relevant content based on the words remaining.

It also will highlight where the word is in the text.

>>15516994

I am suddenly reminded of the premise of the anime and manga series "Library Wars." The people who are peddling the dissolution of Internet Archive are probably aware of how dystopian they are for encroaching a free source of mostly old, even many out of print or exceedingly difficult to obtain books.

>>15517154
One day in the not so distant future you will regret not downloading and printing out copies of all 26000 books of the French National Institute For Agricultural Research.

>>15516994
i don't understand the drill, what does it means?

>>15516994
Fucking kikes. I am gonna download all useful books and I will upload them to other sites. I am not gonna give my money to (((merchants)))

>>15516994
so where do we find the internet archive now?

let's make a list, I know this is stupid of my part to say "what kind of books are essential" because all of them are valuable, but we need to download all kind of content.
>rare authors
>pretty rare books
>manuscripts
>old magazines

>>15517834
Figure out who exactly is suing them and find out what books they publish

>>15516994
From the article:

But Kahle's idealism—or foolishness—might cost him dearly. Copyright law allows statutory damages as high as $150,000 per work for willful infringement. And Grimmelmann tells Ars that if the publishers win the case, they'll have a strong case that the infringement was willful.

The Internet Archive has scanned more than a million books that are still under copyright, so a loss could easily lead to billions of dollars in damages—far beyond the non-profit's ability to pay. So if the publishers win the lawsuit, they could force the Internet Archive out of business. That would be an incalculable loss given the group's work archiving other types of content, including the early Web.

IT'S FUCKING OVER IF THEY WIN.

I'm not worried about the random 19th-20th century stuff, obviously that will be available elsewhere. I'm worried about truly obscure, old, sub-100 downloads shit like this:
>https://archive.org/details/SelectiorumObservationumEtConsiliorumDePraetervisisHactenusMorbisAffectibusquePr

>>15517852
But these guys archive Internet history, not just books.

>>15517883
internet history isn't worth archiving, the internet was a mistake

>>15516994
They should've never messed with recent copyrighted material. That was such a stupid mistake.

>>15517402
rec books please

>>15517908
I mean, all they had to do was keep doing what they were doing, they were still scanning and preserving it.
I really don't understand how this decision was reached.

>dled latin readers
>dled german readers

phew bros. All I need to do now is "borrow" their most recent scholarship on the classics

We need a new internet where the servers run on the same machines as the clients, all requests and replies (including headers, hostnames, etc.) are end-to-end encrypted, and network routings are obfuscated. Screw the government and their retarded copyright bullshit.

>>15517922
I can imagine a clever argument that every shuttered library could transfer their lending rights to the Archive, giving them virtually infinite lending for the duration of closures.
That's some Olympic-tier legal gymanstics though, and it's probably more likely that Kahle said yolo / let's do it and be legends.

>>15517908
>>15517922
with everybody cooped up indoors during a pandemic they had the opportunity to gain a bunch of good will from the general public and to challenge the modern draconian copyright law that only benefits big business, it's risky to them but the payoff if they win their case is going to be huge

The price of failure will be huger.
The copyright laws for books aren't draconian anyway, the crux of the problem is in Disney and such other titans, the sort that wipe their asses with 1 year of Penguin's and B&N's profits. Nobody gives a fuck about the general public when armies of lawyers are in action. The risk is ridiculous, their actions were too extreme and hardly legally defensible. It's pointless no matter how you turn it.

Hello everyone,

Yes. I am a big fan of the Elsevier platform of digital access, and subscription based programs which will be here in the near future.
Yes. They're soon planning on rolling out a verified tier system.

- No degree ~ $5/month for unlimited articles
- In College ~ Free if your university signed up for it
- College Grad - $20/month, or $50/month for commercial purposes
- Postgraduate - Pricing plans vary from $10 to $150 a month

Also, wethey're are considering free access for high school students. Isn't it cool when great things happen. Unfortunately, the publishing industry is under attack, which means high quality research articles will soon come to an end. This is very alarming in an era of fake news, where quality Peer-Reviewed Journals are the only way of making heads and tails. Anyways, I'm a real chatter, I know. Enough about this. What's everyone's favorite beverage here?

>>15521224
I mean, sure, SOME articles might cost you hundreds of dollars to read, but those normally aren't relevant to the research you're meant to be doing anyways. Don't worry, we went through and vetted the literature for you so you can be quite sure that the ones you do get access to are reliable and unproblematic!

>>15521855
maybe facebook pages - the "right to be forgotten" and all that. but for everything else: an emphatic no.
literally the lowest level of utility this serves is saving deleted tweets - invaluable for dealing with bad-faith actors on twitter.
and the value only ramps up - frp, older websites with unique info curated by autist specialists who ran out of money or let the domain expire, to government and institutional website histories and documents that are in the public interest.
if the Internet Archive set up a legal defense fund I'd donate - and I don't donate to anything normally. but it's such a big part of the internet's architecture at this point it's invaluable to a critical degree.

If they manage to bring it down, next target will be google books. There's too many knowledge they hate it

>>15516994
LITERALLY just made an account to use their lending system last week, and now I can't even open my borrowed books on a different computer - I have to squint at my smartphone while the period runs down.
the books they set aside for lending still have links, but don't even load now in preview form. that's how much they've locked this down (for now) :(

that's why decentralizing these efforts across multiple platforms means those that get targeted first have fallback positions for the content to migrate to. (bookscans not in the public domain are the reason they're in this fix, but there's no reason they should have to act like they're the only game in town - libgen arguably does it better, though less comprehensively.)
thing is, I don't know if any other project (except google's backup of the entire internet) has a public equivalent of the "wayback machine" - someone should get on that...

it’s immoral to project copyright claims on works that you have no intention of reprinting, but merely held onto for the sake of inflating your company’s value. this is indefensible.
if it’s not been reprinted for 10 years in any serious volume it should automatically become public domain, simple as that.

This sort of thing is what led to Aaron Schwartz's suicide. The cunts were going to lock him up for life on outdated computer-based felony charges for piracy of academic journal articles of studies funded by taxpayer money.
