Emulation is gonna get hurt. Old books that no one wants to republish will disappear for good. A lot of old video games will permanently disappear. Art and comics will permanently disappear.

And this sets a precedent against preservation.

Install a tracking chip in every copy

An alarm would go off and the police would be summoned if the book ever sensed that it was in another person's hands

I assume people are betting on them being ordered to pay a trillion dollars to the publishers. That would really suck, they're an organization that actually deserves donations and does a ton to fight for Internet rights. The whole "infinite book downloads, they're just being loaned" was a pretty boneheaded move though.

Hey everyone I want to point out this says nothing about the IA shutting down. It will of course have to cease its book lending function of copyrighted works and the damages they will have to pay are unknown and could effect their operability, but they have not been ruled to be fundamentally an illegal operation.

Once one IP holder says "not my shit!", they all will. Get ready for absurd levels of Streisand-effect whack-a-mole, until IA gets sick of it or sued into oblivion, like what happened to Digg.
Wayback will start falling down the memory hole fairly soon as well.

Regardless of the appeal outcome, hit the IA threads like you're shopping in the biggest Kay-Bee Toys fire sale ever.

Copyright laws should not have a role on the internet. They're purely harmful. Use justifies itself.

This.

On the other hand, as they are an internet archive, it's their purpose to copy everything on the internet.

Including books distributed online.

Just make it so they can't be lent out, ie: downloaded.
