It went badly for Internet Archive, against common sense.

not really

they were operating under model when they remotely lended the same amount of books they had (effectively operating as a library)

then they started doing it without any limits whatsoever, which in fact is piracy and illegal

some people with common sense begged them to stop and stay in legal operating area

they refused, got (predictably) sued as publishers were unhappy already about remote library and (as predictably) lost case
