Nope. They may have standing, but they're responsible for their own actions.
> Seriously the fact that book is well read or old does not matter
It does, because it means the damages (lost potential sales) are low/nonexistent.
Myself, I buy a lot of old books - but from the thrift store. The only reason the thrift store sells them is because people dump their valueless books on them.
Actually, they kind of are forced into action here. Even if they were okay with the IA doing this (which I'm sure they're not) they still have to defend their copyrights, otherwise they could be declared abandoned and the works would then be in the public domain and could not be defended when someone they don't want to use their works then uses them
