Comparatively, the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is being urged to investigate the acts of some AI companies obtaining AI training data by buying, scanning, and destroying books. According to an open letter obtained by Axios, more than a dozen civil society organizations are calling on the FTC to use regulatory powers to examine what large AI companies call disruptive new methods of data acquisition. Earlier, the “Washington Post” quoted court documents as reporting that Anthropic had spent millions of dollars to buy books and remove book spines to scan the pages and use them to train Claude; Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI have also faced similar copyright lawsuits. These organizations want the FTC to further determine whether such actions constitute unfair competition practices. They believe that by acquiring and destroying physical books, AI companies may actually be emptying the market's key data resources. In particular, some rare books may disappear permanently as a result, while digital companies hold the last few physical copies. Relevant organizations warn that this practice of hoarding and destroying may increase competitors' data acquisition costs, while cutting off important raw materials that AI startups rely on to train models, thereby further expanding competitive barriers for leading AI companies. However, rather than requiring the FTC to restrict AI model training, they want regulators to focus on reviewing the destruction of existing works and intervene before large AI companies use this to establish a market advantage. According to the open letter, this approach is not simply a data acquisition strategy, but may become another structural means for leading AI companies to build a systemic moat that is difficult to overcome. Currently, the FTC under the Trump administration wants to maintain a relatively friendly regulatory environment for US companies, and on the other hand, it continues to release attention to market competition and the monopoly risk of large technology companies.

Comparative news, according to data from the Korea Securities Depository and Settlement Agency, South Korean retail investors are buying up their ADR (American Depositary Receipts) listed on the US NASDAQ in a big way, causing ADR to have a large premium compared to local Korean stocks. Since SK Hynix ADR was listed on NASDAQ on July 10 to August 19, Korean investors have accumulated a net purchase of SK Hynix ADR of about US$835 million (approximately 1.16 trillion won), ranking second among US stocks bought by Korean investors during the same period, accounting for 16.4% of the total net purchase amount of US stocks by Korean investors. This trend triggered the price gap between SK Hynix ADR and local Korean stocks to continue to widen. SK Hynix Korea's shares closed down 9.75% to 1.5 million won on August 19; ADR in the US market rose 0.35% to close at $156.16. Since 1 SK Hynix ADR corresponds to 0.1 shares of the Korean capital stock, theoretically, the share value after converting the ADR price should be about 10 times the ADR price. However, as of the 19th, the Korean stock price was only 6.82 times the ADR conversion price, which meant that ADR formed a premium of about 46.67% compared to the capital stock. (NATE)
