It Turns Out You Can Burn a Digital Book
In
Tennessee they are banning them. But there’s more than one way to
censor a book. As Internet Archive librarian Chris Freeland explains,
corporate publishers are suing the Internet
Archive, demanding our library destroy 1.4 million digital books.
"Whether through corporate bullying or government banning,
digital books are not immune from censorship," explains
Freeland. Many of these books don't exist anywhere else online--so we
are the library of last resort.

That really is appalling. I came to truly cherish archive.org during lockdown. I think it's the most utopian and wonderful site on the internet!
