The issue reaches beyond copyright. When books are treated only as raw material for extraction, we lose sight of what a book is: a physical act of attention, memory, labor, and relation across time.
Technological development does not have to mean cultural disposability. The question is whether our systems can become more intelligent without becoming less reverent toward the conditions from which intelligence grows.
I couldn't help but think that when you mentioned the different times in history when books were heavily censored I would also would have mentioned the Spanish Inquisition.
I'm in no way supporting the Nazis, a lot of the books that they burned were pornographic and some smacked of sexual orientation. Some of the books were Socialist movement literature most written by Jewish authors.
I'm struck by the similarities between them and now. The same actors are in charge of the pornographic industry as before, attempting to destroy our wholesomeness.
I asked AI the following question.
Where any of the books pornography
Yes—some sexually explicit or pornographic material was burned, because the Nazis classified it as “immoral” or harmful to “German purity.” However, pornography was only one category among many.
The Nazis also burned sexology, sexual-education, and LGBTQ-related books, including research from Magnus Hirschfeld’s Institute for Sexual Science. The broader book-burning campaign primarily targeted Jewish, left-wing, pacifist, liberal, and anti-Nazi works.
The point about hiding evidence of copy right theft is a solid one, but if they are desotrying only a single copy of each book, that does not equate book burning.
If they buy the whole stock to make perticular books go out of print, that would be a different matter.
Buy print encyclopedias.
