They did bad things in regard to endangering their institution. There is nothing objectively, morally "bad" about the National Emergency Library though.

It is bad if you're an author. (Or if you're a reader who wants the authors to stay in business.)

Where can I find a list of authors who went out if business by this move in particular?

Either you believe in property rights or you don't. That's fine if you don't. But that's not the system we have.

Authors don't "go out of business" if their words are copied without their permission. So the answer to your question will always be "no one". But they have rights to their words nonetheless.
