	HN Discussion: ~Copyright law, not AI companies, is the real culprit forcing book destruction ↓The controversy is manufactured or misleading; AI companies aren't hoarding rare knowledge ↓AI ingestion of rare books benefits more people than locked-away physical copies ↑Digital copies should be preserved and released publicly via archives after copyright expires ↓Rare books by definition have little broad knowledge value, so preservation urgency is overstated
