Atheist with an Attitude v2 :
They don’t let libraries copy or scan books bc of copyright, but they don’t let this be held by copyright.

monster smoocher :
Archivist who specializes in digitization here! You can absolutely digitized books without cutting the spines off. It is done sometimes depending a few factors, but it’s not standard practice. They’re doing it to make the process faster and less labor intensive, and there is no justification for shredding the originals

If you didn't vote FOR KAMALA in 2024- you share the blame.

Meanwhile, as a Librarian, we cannot legally let you photocopy more than 10% of a book because we can be fined thousands for infringement of copyright. I don’t have the words only rage.

George Orwell, 1984 and Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451. That's all I have to say

I don’t understand how this isn’t copyright infringement. What am I missing?

Destroying the books is a feature, not a bug. Fewer books means they have to pay AI overlords for the information that was in the books

even if you buy the book, it doesn't give you the right to scan it and upload it... remember all those piracy warnings before watch a dvd???

It’s a modern day burning of the sacred and historical items in Alexandria. 🥺

I'm disgusted. they're destroying the books so that their digital copy is the only copy and now they legally own the only copy.

we have had non destructive book scanning since the late 90's but it is slow and shows respect for the books

ThatDesignFeel :
Copyright is totally cooked. If I can buy a book and scan it into a computer, and that's "transformative", what's the argument preventing me from doing that with a dvd, or a videogame?

“Profit motive” more like if hard evidence of history exists, they can’t change it without people raising hell

this is the world we live in: turning pages is deemed "inefficient" by a company destroying the pre-AI world as it consumes it 😭😡

Joseph A P Holsten :
As a former used book store owner: you all seem very upset about the destruction of books that society as a whole doesn’t care about whatsoever. No one is speaking about scarce books. But plenty of bookstores buy pallets of used books and straight up throw away most of them. If there’s actually rare books in there, I care. But at the moment this feels like most videos are performative outrage because people don’t understand how the used book industry works.

They could have PAID HUMANS to scan books without destroying them. Their greed is disgraceful.

There is a automatic bookscaner that keeps the books intact. Cutting and destroying the books is unnecessary.
