"Here I am, a bundle of past recollections and future dreams, knotted up in a reasonably attractive bundle of flesh. I remember what this flesh has gone through; I dream of what it may go through."

The Internet Archive, Misinformation & the Problem of Digital Lending
I am in the embarrassing situation of having reblogged a post with misinformation. Specifically, the “Save the Internet Archive” post featuring the below image and its associated link to a website called “Battle for Libraries”.
The post claims that the recent lawsuit the IA faced threatened all IA projects, including the Wayback Machine, which is not true. The link to a petition to “show support for the Internet Archive, libraries’ digital rights, and an open internet with uncensored access to knowledge” only has one citation, which is the internet archive’s own blog.
After looking for more context, I found that even articles published from sources I trusted didn’t seem to adequately cover the complexity of what is going on. Here’s what I think someone who loves libraries but is hazy about copyright law and the digital lending world should know to understand what happened and why it matters. I am from the U.S., so the information below is specifically referring to laws protecting American public libraries. I am not a librarian, author or copyright lawyer. This is a guide to make it easier to follow the arguments of people more directly invested in this lawsuit, and the potential additional lawsuits to come.

"She's got the heart of a sweet baby kitten and the soul of a librarian, she's so beautiful but she feels like an alien.."
She is at home with a book in her hand and a cup of coffee, maybe some flowers to show her that beauty still exists in this world - eUë
