I'm glad that a link is made to book burning & the fact that it prevents information being accessible by the general public.<br>I have a case law book from 1824 that I found without binding & others that I have had rebound & cherish & when I can I like to tell & show people the information in it & them.
Well if you can argue my body my choice for abortion to chop up a baby, the companies can easily argue my stuff my choice to chop up a book.
I am sure the indifference comes from the idea that they don't understand how rare these books are - or how they are becoming more rare. They are focused on their goal and do not understand the irreversible harm they are causing.<br><br>They are still morally culpable of course, but it is different than if they set out to actively destroy knowledge/books.<br><br>I think a law should be passed requiring that the book not be destroyed, and that it is donated to a public library after being scanned - along with the scanned version being made available to the Library of Congress (and through the LoC all public and university libraries)<br><br>It may still be easier to scan by removing the cover - but then the tech company would be responsible for re-binding for the book.<br><br>And some books should not be damaged by the scanning process - because they are too rare.
Controlling the knowledge and they can change it as they please.
I live in Oregon. The county public library here no longer accepts donations of "physical assets"; they don't accept books!

This scam has gone on long enough. We don't have AI or even science to make it yet. What we have is predictive spellcheckers that don't know the difference between baby oil and food oil.
This makes it seems as if the indifference makes it okay. Depraved indifference, deliberate indifference, these are legal terms in places to describe doing unconscionable things because you don't care. Every one of these companies knew the consequences and acted. The consequences just aren't big enough for them to care... so the government needs to show them what real consequence are.
This should never be allowed to happen. We cannot allow the oligarchs to hoard knowledge.
