I have been reading about Hachette v. Internet Archive, but as a layperson with little knowledge about legal matters, I was not able to completely understand the current situation.

Do the court cases mean that the Internet Archive is about to be forced to shut down its e-book lending system? If so, would such a shut down affect US users only, or would it be worldwide?

@jmbmkn @citytree ‪"Red, White & Royal Blue" by Casey McQuiston is a romantic novel. Find out how two friends were forced to fake a friendship for political reasons, but their feelings deepened into a secret romance that challenges their lives and the world's perception. https://bit.ly/445UfVI‬
