# The 4 publishers: Hachette, Penguin Random House, Wiley, and HarperCollins [(sauce)](https://archive.vn/i6zjs) --------------------------------- TorrentFreak article: https://torrentfreak.com/internet-archives-national-emergency-library-is-vile-says-copyright-alliance-310331/ --- https://archive.vn/wip/pe2PD Commentary (Styxhexenhammer666): https://www.bitchute.com/video/KhvpPhqYvDY/ -------------------------------- TL;DR: The Internet Archive hosted a "National Emergency Repository" of educational and medical texts to support the world during the global panic, when libraries were closed, shipping times were long, and ebook subscriptions were (still are) limited. The goal was to help people get the information they needed during the crisis when everything was shut downl. The aforementioned publishers got pissed because they want money, and archive.org was effectively circumventing copywrite law by doing this. # How to "fight back" Without being gay, the best way to fight back against this shitty behavior is to publicly boycot these publishers, and put pressure on any sponsors they may have > Hachette > Penguin Random House > Wiley > HarperCollins **Also, make sure to make local backups of ANY DATA you may want which is hosted on archive.org. This includes website backups** -- [@Handroid7 mentioned earlier today about how you can use archive.today to backup wayback machine pages](https://poal.co/s/TellPoal/179227)
