Internet Archive: Rally on the steps of the Internet Archive!!

This Saturday! April 08, 2023

Battle for Libraries sign up if you are going to attend the rally!

If you can't attend/can't make it that is completely fine! You can check for the live updates on Twitter by Internet Archive following the hashtag #DigitalRightsForLibraries

"...Make & share a rally sign & tag @internetarchive. Need a suggestion? Try: - Internet Archive is a Library For Everyone! - eBooks are Books..."

Here is a post with info better summarizes of what is happening to the Internet Archive

To summarize in case you have no idea what is going on (or just don't want to read the link). Four (4) book publishing companies HarperCollins, Wiley, penguin random house LLC, and Hachette book group are suing the Internet Archive because during the pandemic their sales of books did poorly. So they are blaming Internet Archive, a library for the internet, for their poor sales because they believe their system for ebooks is flawed. Even though it's the exact same system as any old library with a library card.

Donate to Internet Archive!
