According to Gratz, most of the questions for IA focused on "how to think about the situation where a particular book is available" from the open library and also available as an ebook that a library can license. Judges said they did not know how to think about "a situation where the publishers just haven't come forward with any data showing that this has an impact," Gratz said.
