@luis_in_brief Thanks for sharing, looks like a neat release! Better than scraping IA. Does the metadata include authorship information?

What I have in mind is COMMUNIA policy 2 communia-association.org/polic ; in the USA the NYPL has been active recently nypl.org/blog/2019/09/01/histo and github.com/NYPL/cce-renewals is a good start, though the most impact is perhaps the usage of section 108(h) as seen in the #InternetArchive collection authorsalliance.org/2017/11/07 .

I trust #InternetArchive with government documents more than I do the government! (Or #AI for that matter...)

Internet Archive is now an official #USGovernment document #library

by Steve Dent
Fri, July 25, 2025

"The US Senate has granted the Internet Archive federal depository status, making it officially part of an 1,100-library network that gives the public access to government documents, #KQED reported. The designation was made official in a letter from California Senator Alex Padilla to the Government Publishing Office that oversees the network. 'The Archive's digital-first approach makes it the perfect fit for a modern #FederalDepositoryLibrary, expanding access to federal government publications amid an increasingly digital landscape,' he wrote.

"Established by Congress in 1813, the Federal Depository Library Program is designed to help the public access government records. Each congressional member can designate up to two libraries, which include government information like budgets, a code of federal regulations, presidential documents, economic reports and census data.

"With its new status, the Internet Archive will be gain improved access to government materials, founder Brewster Kahle said in a statement. 'By being part of the program itself, it just gets us closer to the source of where the materials are coming from, so that it’s more reliably delivered to the Internet Archive, to then be made available to the patrons of the Internet Archive or partner libraries.' The Archive could also help other #libraries move toward #DigitalPreservation, given its experience in that area.

"It's some good news for the site which has faced legal battles of late. It was sued by major #publishers over loans of #DigitalBooks during the #Coronavirus epidemic and was forced by a federal court in 2023 to remove more than half a million titles. And more recently, major music labels filed lawsuits over its #Great78Project that strove to preserve #78RPM records. If it loses that case it could owe more than $700 million damages and possibly be forced to shut down.

"The new designation likely won't aid its legal problems, but it does affirm the site's importance to the public. 'In October, the Internet Archive will hit a milestone of 1 trillion pages,' Kahle wrote. 'And that 1 trillion is not just a testament to what libraries are able to do, but actually the sharing that people and governments have to try and create an #EducatedPopulace.' "

So, I figure if #BigPublishing can shut down the #InternetArchive's borrowing services, they should apply the same rules to #AI, right? (Personally, I'd rather have #IA have access than AI).

Tom Lehrer (1928–2025) made musical satire sing…and sting. His songs were funny, outrageous, & often uncomfortably true.

He died recently at 97. Years earlier, he disclaimed copyright to all his lyrics and compositions; a gesture as radical as his songs.

We remember his life, his legacy, & what it means for the #digitalcommons ⤵️

#InternetArchive Is Now a #FederalDepositoryLibrary. What Does That Mean?
Founder #BrewsterKahle said that while the #nonprofit has always functioned as a #library, this new designation makes it easier to work with the other federal depository libraries. That, he said, is a service to everyone.
The Federal Depository Library Program was established by Congress in 1813, with the intention of ensuring that government records would be accessible to the American public.
