日本二手书店近期销售额出现5倍增长1，但这一异常繁荣的背景引发关注。根据NTV日本报道，包括Anthropic在内的外国AI科技公司正在大规模采购日本书籍1。这些公司通过岡山县物流中心协调采购，已有50吨日本书籍被运往美国进行扫描1。采购的书籍类型涵盖哲学、历史、政治史、医学、法律和江户时期生活文化等多个领域1。一家东京书店报告称，其日销售数百本书，或在某些日期销售量增加了五倍1。
这种大规模采购方式引起了对文化遗产和知识产权的担忧。多个账户订单均指定运往岡山县物流中心，显示采购具有高度组织性1。有分析指出，此举存在移除重要文化作品流通和未经授权使用受版权保护作品的风险1。不过，根据日本现行法律，除非能证明扫描不公平损害著作权人的利益，否则用于AI学习的扫描在法律上仍然合法1。
Japanese used bookstores are reporting a dramatic spike in sales, with revenue increasing by five times their normal levels 1. However, this unprecedented boom stems from bulk purchases by foreign artificial intelligence companies, which are buying Japanese books by the ton for scanning and destruction. According to reporting from NTV Japan, technology giants including Anthropic have been coordinating large-scale acquisitions through a logistics hub in Okayama Prefecture 1.
Approximately 50 tons of Japanese books have already been shipped to the United States for scanning and destruction associated with Anthropic's operations 1. Multiple purchase orders have been routed through the Okayama Prefecture logistics center, with books spanning diverse categories including philosophy, history, political history, medicine, law, and Edo period cultural studies 1. One Tokyo bookstore has reported selling hundreds of books daily, representing days when sales have increased fivefold compared to normal volumes 1.
The practice raises concerns about the removal of important cultural works from circulation and the unauthorized use of copyrighted materials. Under Japanese law, however, scanning for artificial intelligence training purposes remains legally permissible unless it can be demonstrated that the scanning unfairly damages the interests of copyright holders 1.
