That will be a very reasonable thing to expect in a few years. Based on the rate of advancement of memory density and LLM tech I wrote this [0] a while back.

Containment of "the human corpus" (all significant written works since antiquity) is a lost cause for the authorities. Stunts like this Australian thing are symbolic rituals by the dying publishing industry against a downhill battle.

For a brief window you'll have Fahrenheit 451 style police trying to enforce physical warrants and seizure of "illegal reading materials", but proliferation, diminishing size, sheer utility and cost of enforcement will soon make the whole misadventure water under the bridge.

Yeah, we will look back at early 21st century as a sorry bloody episode to be embarrassed by.

You mean OP's Austrian thing? Or something else? Australia's the one with the kangaroos and Austria the one with famous painters.

As an Austrian, I hope you are talking about Klimt and Schiele.
