There’s a huge difference, an absolute chasm, between non-destructive scanning, which was always an option by the way, for the purposes of putting it in a public archive

Like Anna's Archive, or Sci-Hub. Famously legal.

If only they uploaded everything to those archives, the scanning would be perfectly fiiiiine.
