The New Zealand Society of Authors and the Publishers Association of New Zealand Te Rau o Tākupu says the recipient of the National Library’s books is a notorious internet pirate.
The library has come under fire for plans to destroy more than half a million books by overseas authors because it doesn’t have storage space, and it now says it will give them to the Internet Archive.
