While we are deeply disappointed with the Second Circuit’s opinion in Hachette v. Internet Archive, the Internet Archive has decided not to pursue Supreme Court review. We will continue to honor the Association of American Publishers (AAP) agreement to remove books from lending at their member publishers’ requests.
Hachette is one of the Big 5 publishers at 10% market share. Penguin Random house (25%), HarperCollins (11%) and Wiley (not big 5 but still ~10%) were also in the suit.
Hachette, Penguin and HarperCollins are basically half of all books that come out.

Sucks but understandable. Give the Archive a rest. Boycott Hachette
Boycott their CEO!

Don’t boycott the content, just pirate it and support the authors directly.
