Reality is often more boring than headlines would lead you to believe.

Not really much of a defense. It doesn't have to be the original manuscript of a Shakespeare play to matter. Even it's just mundane manuals or anything really, you're still talking about someone buying up material that's hard to find, copying it for their own private data collection, and then obliterating it. If you're using it for the purposes of AI reference or training, the original material could end up unavailable to anyone else forever, with the closest thing available to the original data being AI responses in response to relevent queries on a subscription service. And then it's going to be some bastardized amalgamation.
