Unfortunately, that would violate copyright law. In fact, the whole point of the destruction is to circumvent copyright, as apparently there was a ruling that scanning, tokenizing, and then destroying the original is transformative enough to be considered, "fair use."
You are definitely right. It just sucks that destroying books is "fair use" while using movie clips to make a parody video gets taken down with little recourse.
You think they give a fuck? These people are going to get to the point where they would take aim at random people with rifles and shoot them for fun and then act like they did nothing wrong.
Of course they would see an issue with that... If they are aiming themselves, it means they can be aimed at... So they will do it via drone.
