Remember also during the pandemic that a bunch of publushers got up in arms about archive.org opening up their library to be unrestricted, to make sure access to books was easier at a time when people who relied on libraries could no longer access them.

They then talked authors into supporting the lawsuit due to "lost revenue".

After a few months the authors realised it had done literally no damage and several asked the publishers to drop the lawsuit. But it turns out this wasn't for the authors, it was for publishers, who see online libraries as a threat to be stopped.
