The Internet Archive Is in Big Trouble...and It Might Be Their Own Fault | Episode 18

The Internet Archive, a non-profit repository for BILLIONS of pieces of media, has been lending digital books from its library since 2011 without a hitch. But in March 2020, they made one crucial mistake that now poses an existential threat to the online "Library of Alexandria."
This week, The Internet Archive lost its appeal in a lawsuit brought by the 4 major publishing conglomerates. And while the publishers are technically right in their copyright infringement complaint, the consequences of the suit could be catastrophic for the Archive.

No matter what you'd chose to change 'views' to, some other cohort will have issues with it. That said, how about "hits." OOOOO!! !no no no no way too violent. "Touches?" DON"T YOU DARE TOUCH ME!!! Okay. How about we just don't read too much into words, and euphamize everything. How dare you!!!! Words are sacred!!! Sigh. Just... nevermind.
