So they bought one copy of millions of different books and cut them off in the process of scanning them?

It would have been nicer to not cut them off and donate them after, but I wonder if in US copyright that would have made them less likely to get a pass. Here’s hoping they recycled the paper, at least.

Despite what publishers would like you to think, it’s not illegal to sell or donate used books.
however in doing so they would no longer be making a backup copy and instead just making an actual copy.
