It's kinda dumb. I'd never buy from a dealer who did that. And word spreads.
They're not just asshats, they're stupid.

Brilliant response. But what he's saying is true. OpenAI was sued, and the judge said: There can be only one copy of the book, digital or not. Destroy the book after scanning, and it's legal. The *judge* has *forced* companies to destroy books they scan, for it to be legal.
In that judgement it was OK for them to have a digital copy of a book, a PDF, a epub, txt, whatever. But it was illegal for them to *copy* a copyrighted book, and again the judge approved work around was, destroy the original.
Interestingly that should mean it's legal for a person to do the same, in the US.
