The headlines about destruction came not soon after they got rapped on the knuckles and told "no more pirating".

No, the destructive book scanning was happening before that.

		Right. Because that's the easiest way to comply with the law. I'm not arguing that. I am, arguing that they're using it to make headlines, and stir up anger, as a wedge to trigger changes to copyright. Easier to make more than one change, once the door is opened up.
