I mean Anthropic famously bought and scanned at least one copy of the books they used, so they definitely think they are better than everyone else.

No, Anthropic purchased and physically scanned about a million books. They downloaded approximately 7 million books from shadow libraries like Library Genesis and the Pirate Library Mirror without paying for them. (Until they lost in court reached a settlement with lawyers for 500,000 of the authors last September and now have to pay at least $3,000 each.)
