    It’s not allowed with books

    Have you ever heard of the mysterious places called “libraries”? IA does not “republish” anything, it is an archive.

      Technically, each time that it is viewed it is a republication from copyright perspective. It’s a digital copy that is redistributed; the original copy that was made doesn’t go away when someone views it. There’s not just one copy that people pass around like a library book.
