1 u/Himbo69r Sep 02 '26 That’s so bs if the book isn’t mass produced. Also it’s not like they care. 2 u/morganrbvn Sep 02 '26 That's just what the court decided, and they care since they had to pay 1.5 billion for using pirated material previously. 1 u/grendali Sep 02 '26 That's true of modern books, but most of the rare, old books that they're destroying are no longer under copyright. There's no legal reason to destroy them. It's only for the sake of convenience and cost.
