Dutch bookseller thought a 3,000-book order was a scam until he learned it may have been for AI

One company reportedly purchased millions of books for destructive scanning and training purposes. This practice has raised questions about copyright and fair use in AI development. Similar large book orders have also been reported by booksellers in other countries.
