Judgment Phase of Internet Archive Copyright Case Appears Imminent; Publishers Weekly, August 1, 2023

 Andrew Albanese, Publishers Weekly; Judgment Phase of Internet Archive Copyright Case Appears Imminent

"It's now been more than four months since a federal judge found the Internet Archive liable for copyright infringement for its program to scan and lend library books. But after a court order late last week, the parties finally appear headed toward the judgment phase of the litigation.

Since the verdict, the parties have (per the court's order) been conferring over the contours an "appropriate procedure to determine the judgment to be entered in the case." And after numerous extensions through the spring and summer, judge John G. Koeltl appears to have run out of patience. In a July 28 order, Koeltl gave the parties until August 11 to deliver their recommendations, adding "no more extensions."
