Hmm, didn't Anthropic buy a bunch of used books (like, physical ones), scanned them, and then destroyed them? If Anthropic can do that, surely can NVIDIA

Yes! And it was ruled legal by the courts, but the media spun it as "Anthropic destroys a million books to build AI". This is the only legal bulk approach I know of, hence my inquiry about such a product. I didn't expect such a harsh response from some of these comments.
