Internet Archive and Healthcare Advocates Settle Lawsuit

Healthcare Advocates, Inc and [the] Internet Archive, jointly announced today the settlement of the lawsuit brought by Healthcare Advocates stemming from allegations of computer hacking by a Pennsylvania law firm. The terms of the settlement are confidential.

In July 2005, Healthcare Advocates sued the Philadelphia-area firm Harding, Earley, Follmer & Frailey alleging copyright infringement and violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act based upon dozens of instances where the firm manipulated and abused the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine, thereby gaining access to and copying historical Healthcare Advocates web site content stored on the Internet Archive web site without Healthcare Advocates’ permission. Internet Archive was included as a defendant in this lawsuit based on Internet Archive’s role in securing Healthcare Advocates’ archived web pages.
