They destroy them to comply with fair use laws. A judge in San Francisco ruled this practice as fair use.

    Do you have a case to cite for that? Not calling you out or anything but I want know who the hell ruled that and why. That's insane

    Thank you! Though it doesn't seem the judge imposed any requirement to destroy the physical copies just that creating a large digital library from the copies for reuse would violate the IP rights of the work owners
