[#]InternetArchive has lost appeal in digital lending case, and as always the judge has not understood the tech:

"IA asks this Court to bless the large scale copying and distribution of copyrighted books without permission from or payment to the Publishers or authors. Such a holding would allow for widescale copying that deprives creators

of compensation and diminishes the incentive to produce new works."

Key words: "would allow wide scale copying"

Also key words: "distribution" - not "lending"

So the judge did not understand that IA was using technology to prevent copying. I don't know why it is so hard to get this concept across. But it is.
