I don't believe it's hyperbole to say the money comes from sociopaths. Sociopaths assume everyone is in it for themselves, they assume everyone else thinks like this, that it's just how people do stuff.
Bad title. The destruction is part of their super shitty method of scanning them, not an afterthought.
Yup. All because non-destructive scanning is slightly slower and more expensive.
The way I heard it, it was mostly to satisfy copyright requirements, albeit destructive scanning is easier, indeed
I don’t like the end-use, and I don’t like that uncommon books are being pulped.
Solution: require every book ever to have one copy in central backup library. UK do this.
Can always reprint book. If you worried about loss of last copy send to internet archive to digitize.
