In the filings, Anthropic states, as reported by the Washington Post: “Project Panama is our effort to destructively scan all the books in the world. We don’t want it to be known that we are working on this.”

we bought a copy for personao use, then use the content for profit, it's not privacy

So if I buy a song for personal use, then play that song all day in my club to thousands of people, it's not piracy, is what you're saying?

Because anthropic is full of shit and some weird ass mental gymnastics doesn't change anything

After this debacle, nobody can ever again shame me for piracy, let alone punish me for it

    it would be something more like you buy LPs/tapes/CDs, then form a band that makes songs and albums based around solely those records you bought then destroyed. I think... or something like that.

    If they reprinted those scanned books and sold them or even gave them away, they would be in more trouble than you would by sharing on limewire by dent of numbers. That isn't what they are doing with these books. In fact, they did get in trouble for using the books they didn't buy.
