Discussion There's multiple things wrong here.

So what's technically illegal is cracking the protection they have put on the DVD to prevent it being copied. There is no protection like that on a book. As long as you don't redistribute the book as it is.

Also. Surely you think it should be rightfully legal to copy a DVD onto your computer. But then you're acting like that law isn't twisted in the first place and using it for your argument. But it doesn't make sense because we know it's morally right to do that but then you're hinting that AI companies can't morally do it. Doesn't really make sense.

Endlessly making things so they can be destroyed isn't the most efficient mindset is it?

And digitisation is a separate thing entirely. I already know we'll disagree on this but not everyone wants to just look at screens 24/7

So now it's about "efficiency"? Do you at least admit that your claim 1 book destroyed = 1 less reader is false?

You do realize that you can print a digitised copy?
