Internet Archive Harry Potter -

Because the Internet Archive allows users to upload materials freely, it operates under the "safe harbor" provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). This means that if a copyright holder—such as Bloomsbury, Scholastic, or Warner Bros.—identifies an infringing file, they can issue a takedown notice, and the Archive is legally obligated to remove it.

The availability of these books has not been without controversy. In 2020, major publishers filed a lawsuit against the Internet Archive, particularly targeting its "National Emergency Library," which removed waitlists for digital books during the pandemic.
