Brilliant response. But what he's saying is true. OpenAI was sued, and the judge said: There can be only one copy of the book, digital or not. Destroy the book after scanning, and it's legal. The *judge* has *forced* companies to destroy books they scan, for it to be legal.

In that judgement it was OK for them to have a digital copy of a book, a PDF, a epub, txt, whatever. But it was illegal for them to *copy* a copyrighted book, and again the judge approved work around was, destroy the original.

Interestingly that should mean it's legal for a person to do the same, in the US.

I concur. In fact I would add that the roles have flipped. Now "You're welcome" is rude especially if not preceded by a thank you. No prob or "no problem" indicates to a person that I value them and that I am at their service. It should make them feel important--that I would help in any way I can (even if it IS a large order) and they should not feel disserviced.
