🚨🇺🇸HUGE LOSS FOR PUBLIC LIBRARIES: COURT RULES AGAINST INTERNET ARCHIVE | 500K BOOKS REMOVED
A court has ruled that the Internet Archive, a key resource used by public libraries to lend books digitally, can no longer lend over 500,000 books like "The Catcher in the Rye" and "To Kill a Mockingbird."
The ruling states that the Internet Archive’s Controlled Digital Lending (CDL) program, used by public libraries to lend e-books, violates copyright laws.
CDL lets libraries lend one digital copy for each physical book they own, just like traditional lending. But publishers like Hachette sued, claiming it bypasses e-book licensing fees.
The Internet Archive is appealing, arguing CDL is essential for libraries to lend, preserve, and ensure access to out-of-print books.

12. If you don’t train your mind to appreciate what is good, you’ll continue to look for something better in the future, even when things are great.
13. The belief that there is some future moment more worth our presence than the one we’re in right now is why we miss our lives.
