Which was nice of them, but that doesn’t mean they should’ve done that, especially in the eyes of the law.
(Also, if you’re after free ebooks, why are you pirating them on archive.org instead of libgen?)
Where did I say that find it good that they got sued or lost their appeal? I just said that the reason why they lost the appeal is because according to the law they’re bound to, what they did was wrong. And maybe they should’ve left that to a platform that enjoys a little more immunity from said law, because there are plenty of those.
It was stupid of them. They painted an unnecessary target on their back that doesn’t help their cause and I‘d prefer them not to have to shut down at some point because I’m all for the Internet archive archiving anything and everything.
They should’ve stayed a legitimate library and everything would have been fine and would have served their cause sufficiently well.
They disabled drm during lockdown so people had something to do

Ah, so you‘re one of those people that would be well at home at lemmygrad. And what fate are you talking about? Not getting sued?
