To be honest, I dont really blame Anthropic for this.
The prior ruling against The Internet Archive that made it so they couldnt archive digital copies of books effectively has made it so companies like Anthropic must do it this way.
So I blame the shitty courts for the very stupid ruling.
Things can be immoral without being illegal.
They chose to destroy these books, because it would have been more expensive to non-destructively scan them.
They also chose to simply trash the loose pages after they were done with them.
