#4This is about the "National Emergency Library" they launched during the peak of the COVID pandemic? I think they had good intentions, but the legality around it was definitely questionable from the start.

Yes, in part. But it's also about their online lending program wholesale.

#9This is a bizarre post. It says nothing about what the papers filed actually mean.
The papers are a proposed permanent injunction that both the publishers and IA have (mostly) agreed on, although the IA wants the injunction to only apply to books that are in print and licensed by the publishers as ebooks. The publishers want it to apply to all books.
I don't know why IA decided to post about it in such a cryptic way, unless maybe it was a condition of the ruling, and they're doing the absolute minimum to satisfy that condition.

#10IMHO they were very dumb to do the emergency lending nonsense to begin with.
A good example of letting ideology walk you past the cliff. Even if they’re successful against the injunction the damage has been done.
Given how tenuous online lending is already, it was naive to push the boundary further.
I feel a similar ideological gap is slowly growing in the treatment of data surrounding generative AI.
