fight, 1 month ago Publishing profits are better than they were 10 years ago, all the time that Internet Archive has been doing its thing—loaning the books it owns. And yet Big Publishing is pouring money into suing the Archive, saying that they’ve been economically devastated? We don’t see it. What publishing wins from the Archive, if they win (and they shouldn’t), is $$$ straight into the pockets of lawyers and lobbyists, not #authors. Ask us how we know? We made a third chart.
