In practice that is an obvious exaggeration for the purposes of making a point. It is probably simple enough to make the change, and it’s equally easy to change it back. One configuration makes you subject to massive lawsuits and the other doesn’t.
I suspect GP means exfiltrating the archive (hence the suggestion that it will never go back in the box) rather than setting them fully readable on GBS itself.
And I agree, someone should do that, because keeping books locked up that the rightsholders can’t be bothered to even attempt to make money from is asinine. Too bad our government doesn’t agree with me, so we’ll just have to wait for it to accidentally walk out the door.
