Abstract
The Internet Archive (IA) is widely celebrated as a digital library for the preservation of cultural artifacts, including books, software, and films. However, its open-access model frequently clashes with modern copyright law, particularly regarding major commercial franchises like Harry Potter. This paper examines the availability, rationale, and legal implications of Harry Potter movie files hosted on the Internet Archive. It argues that while the IA serves a critical mission of preservation, the presence of these copyrighted films exists in a legal gray area, often justified by users under the guise of "fair use" for educational or archival purposes, yet rarely meeting the stringent criteria required by U.S. copyright law.
