When you borrow a book from IA or Open Library, you can either read a photographic scan of it on-screen via the Internet Archive BookReader, or download it as an EPUB or PDF. All four are in copyright, “in print”, and available for purchase in digital, print, and/or audio formats. The Internet Archive Copyright Agent can be reached as follows:Įmail: my personal experience with the Internet Archive and Open Library.įour of my books have been scanned and are available for borrowing.
A statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in your notice is accurate and that you are the owner of the copyright interest involved or are authorized to act on behalf of that owner and.

An exact description of where the infringed material is located within the Internet Archive collections. Identification of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed. As a temporary measure, authors can also repeatedly “check out” their books to keep them from being “borrowed” by others. Alternatively, you can use the SFWA DMCA Notice Generator to create a DMCA notice for you. If you believe that your copyright has been violated by material available through the Internet Archive, you can provide the Internet Archive Copyright Agent with a Digital Millennium Copyright Act takedown notice. A secondary search on Open Library’s search page may turn up some additional titles, but will also show books that are in the Open Library database that have not been infringed. You have to register, log in, and “borrow” the books to see if they are there in their entirety.

SFWA is still investigating the extent to which these downloadable copies can be pirated. However, an unreadable copy of the book is saved on users’ devices (iPads, e-readers, computers, etc.) and can be made readable by stripping DRM protection. Unlike e-lending from a regular library, Open Library is not serving up licensed, paid-for copies, but their own scans.Īs with other e-lending services, the books are DRM-protected, and should become unreadable after the “loan” period. For those books that can be “borrowed,” Open Library allows users to download digital copies in a variety of formats to read using standard e-reader software.

The Internet Archive is carrying out a very large and growing program of scanning entire books and posting them on the public Internet. 
I’ve commented on my own experience at the bottom of this post. See this 2013 article from Teleread’s Chris Meadows. Although this seems to be the first time widespread attention has been paid to it, IA’s massive scanning project is not a new endeavor.
Other professional writers’ groups taking notice include the UK’s Society of Authors, which has posted an alert on its website, and the USA’s Authors Guild and National Writers Union, which have alerted their members. The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America has issued an alert on copyright infringement by the Internet Archive.
