Yes, it matters because there's a clear difference between a destructive scan (which is what 1dollarscan do) and the act of scanning and retaining the original. The latter action is creating an additional copy of the work; the former is not.
We have established that creating additional copies for personal use is legal in the UK, but is it legal in the US?
This site appears to be of the opinion that it's not legal, even for personal use.
