The AI companies should work with the Internet Archive to release the digitized copies once the copyright expires.

Unrelated: So with this one copy BS are you not allowed to have backups of the data?

I entirely believe the litigation brought against Internet Archive was secretly sponsored by these exact organizations, because they want to monopolize information to train models.

No data => No models => No competition.

		IA was in hot water already even before ChatGPT came out. > ChatGPT […] originally released on November 30, 2022 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ChatGPT > On March 24, 2020, following shutdowns caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Internet Archive opened the National Emergency Library, removing the waitlists used in Open Library and expanding access to these books for all readers. More than one user could borrow a book at the same time. Two months later, on June 1, the National Emergency Library (NEL) was met with a lawsuit from four book publishers. Two weeks after that, on June 16, the Internet Archive closed the NEL, and the prior Open Library CDL system resumed after the 12 weeks of NEL usage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hachette_v._Internet_Archive

		Yeah, great logic, that way they are sure there are no extra copies around.
