I honestly don't understand why this is not the case already. Actually copyright should be even less-enforceable.

Information/access to data/works should be totally free and there should be other ways to support the creators.

For example I could easily download MP3s of music and MP4s of series/movies but I don't: simply because of two reasons:

- I want to support the artist (to an extent as possible) - Using Spotify/Apple Music/Netflix is much more convenient with a totally acceptable monthly fee.

I know the article is not about entertainment but a library, same rules should apply.

And if one wants to train an LLM, let them: at its essence it's just a person who has read all the books (and access to information should be free), just the person is a machine instead of a biological human being.
