TL;DR Summary

Internet Archive, a free online digital library, has lost a copyright infringement lawsuit filed by four top publishers who claimed the company had illegally scanned and uploaded 127 of their books for readers to download for free. The judge ruled that Internet Archive was making "derivative" works by transforming printed books into e-books and distributing them, and that its lending model went against standard public libraries. Internet Archive plans to appeal the decision.
