The question is; whose pocket is said librarian in?
Don't you just love regulators?

Probably no one. As I see it, the problem is that the Library of Congress is exempt from the laws it influences. So, they take by eminent domain 30+ million documents and share them at will with no consequence. Public libraries are similarly exempted -- as are schools. Remove these exemptions, and fair use would be more reasonable.
In the mean time, don't patronize the bad guys.
