Authors and publishers have asked the Attorney-General to investigate the legality of the partnership between the National Library and the Internet Archive ahead of a looming New York court case which could see the archive cease to operate.
A trial, for which no date had yet been set, sees global publishing giants Hachette, HarperCollins, Penguin Rando
m House and Wiley take on the archive, which earlier this year was announced as the recipient of 600,000 books from the National Library’s overseas published collection.
