making 1.4 million ebooks AVAILABLE to the public to help universities and students who are studying remotely during CORONAVIRUS SHUTDOWN!!

The Internet Archive has launched a new public library with 1.4 million books.

The National Emergency Library is meant to help universities and colleges.

The books are made available through a new interpretation of 'fair use'.

CORONAVIRUS symptoms!!: what are they and should you see a doctor?.

Internet Archive accused of using Covid-19 as 'an excuse for piracy'
The ‘National Emergency Library’ has made 1.4m ebooks freely available, many by current bestsellers, and sparked outrage from writers’ organisations

I'm going to break into your house tonight and steal all your possessions. But you won't mind, will you? Everything should be free.
