I think that IA is 100% in the right morally and ethically. I have made use of IA multiple ways over the years including the emergency COVID library.

But nothing I have read has explained how they think they have a leg to stand on in the context of existing law.

What jurisprudence is being relied upon with this "fair use" argument?

Or what other forms of pressure do they think they can bring to bear to change the outcome?
