AI company accused in court of destroying books after training on them

A repost reacting to an alleged open-court admission that an AI company destroyed books and manuscripts after extracting their contents for model training.
The quoted claim is framed as evidence in a dispute over how training data is sourced and handled, especially when the materials are unique or hard to replace. The post itself is mainly an outrage reaction, but the underlying issue is the legal and governance question of whether training practices can involve destroying source materials after digitization or extraction.
