LibGen already exists, and all the top LLM publishers use it. I don't know if Google's own book index provides a big technical or legal advantage.

I'd be very surprised if the Google books index wasn't much bigger and more diverse than libgen.

Anna's Archive is at 43M Books and 98M Papers. The book total is nearly double what Google has.

Google's scanning project basically stalled after the legal battle.
