It also had cool catalog art. Here’s one from 1892.

At its core, the reason publishers are going after the Internet Archive isn't that its actions have lost money for authors. It's that publishers want to delegitimise the concept of owning a digital copy of something.

Preparing my last seminar, I was very happy I could borrow a crucial title from @archive.org
The alternative would have been to buy it for 10% of my total pay from Abebooks and have it shipped around the globe
Or not use it at all

We support authors by buying books, especially ebooks that we can own, preserve, and lend to one reader at a time. We want a better deal for authors because the license-only, streaming model doesn't work for creators or libraries: popula.com/2022/08/11/o...

That’s not accurate. The books in our lending library have DRM & encryption to prevent redistribution. We had been doing this lending for 10+ years & publishers were in the know and some were very supportive.
