And it's not so much about the scale of the money involved as the fact that they think they have the authority to just unilaterally decide this that means this sets a very dangerous precedent

No arguments here. And if this is what was being argued, I would be right here with everyone. But that is not the position. The position is that IA has no right to issue any copies, at any time, even when they have a full license for doing so as a vendor for a partner library.

No, it isn't, this position is entirely based on the unilateral nature of the CDL policy, and is entirely coming from authors who found their work on the Open Library knowing they'd never negotiated a license for it to be there
