Since its inception, the Internet Archive has aimed to provide universal access to knowledge by digitizing books. However, this ambitious project faced legal challenges regarding copyright violations, particularly around an appeal ruling stating the Archive deprived creators of compensation and threatened the incentive for new work.
The Internet Archive argued that not everyone has access to a good library collection, thus justifying their effort to digitize physical books. But this approach raised legal and ethical concerns as it involved large-scale copying of copyrighted text.
