The problem is that the Hachette v. Internet Archive case decided that having an archive like IA wasn’t “fair use”. You can’t just copy and use other people’s intellectual property without their permission. If a company puts a book up on their web site in a limited time promotion then have in IA turn that into a “forever available” product just isn’t legal.
