Business


​A U.S. appeals court sided with four major book publishers that accused the nonprofit Internet Archive of illegally scanning copyrighted works and lending them to the public online for free and without permission.

The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan agreed with Hachette Book Group (LAGA.PA) HarperCollins Publishers (NWSA.O) John Wiley & Sons (WLY.N) and Penguin Random House (BTGGg.F) that the archive's "large scale" copying and distribution of entire books did not amount to "fair use."​
