The main problem I had was one attorney thought if we destroyed our
print copies that we could scan them into a giant database using "Fair
Use" and preservation.
As Bryan Carson pointed out in his analysis - we are a private library
and would therefore flunk all the tests for preservation - not just
108(c) which is the section I zeroed in on from previously.
