Corellium wins legal battle to offer iOS virtual machines.

A US court has ruled that Corellium is not infringing any copyrights with its iOS virtual machines, which are used for security research purposes. The court stated that Corellium's products "furthers scientific progress" and that iOS is a "functional operating software that falls outside copyright's core." This ruling allows Corellium to continue providing iOS virtual machines to its customers, and it may set a precedent for developers to emulate iOS on other platforms without being sued.

Internet Archive's Legal Battle with Publishers Threatens Free Digital Library

Four major book publishers, Hatchette Book Group, John Wiley & Sons Inc., Penguin Random House, and HarperCollins Publishers, have filed a lawsuit against Internet Archive for alleged copyright infringement. The publishers claim that Internet Archive's free digital library, which expanded during the pandemic, hurts writers and publishers who lose out on payment. The lawsuit argues that Internet Archive's actions "constitute willful digital piracy on an industrial scale." The case could be a landmark when it comes to digital libraries and copyright, with the fair use doctrine being called into question.
