Anthropic just learned to the tune of a 1.5 billion dollar settlement that making available for human consumption, even internally, instead of hoarding for AI training exclusively is a fraught exercise.
Two events: Anthropic did end up paying a $1.5B settlement for a case involving the use of pirated books. See Bartz v. Anthropic.
Second, apparently archiving content and providing it to others is risky business. It is often ruled as piracy, see Hachette v. Internet Archive. It went badly for Internet Archive, against common sense.

Can you elaborate? I checked the news and couldn't find what you're referencing myself.

not really
they were operating under model when they remotely lended the same amount of books they had (effectively operating as a library)
then they started doing it without any limits whatsoever, which in fact is piracy and illegal
some people with common sense begged them to stop and stay in legal operating area
they refused, got (predictably) sued as publishers were unhappy already about remote library and (as predictably) lost case
That's on current copyrights, not public domain works like these really old maps.
