Did you real the summary of the lawsuit? They were giving away unlicensed books. That is what started this thing to begin with. If they would of just not started offering free downloads of copyrighted works this would probably not be happening.

They really should of just admitted to there mistake during covid and settled. For once the lawsuits by the publishers wasn’t totally unjustified and extreme. Now I stead of that they are risking everything over there own views on copyright.

I can’t help but feel they have brought this on themselves. They had the support of the US copyright office and everything but now that’s in jeopardy
