Trying to work through this...
> Libraries are not intended for photocopying of materials for all possible fair use cases; they're only intended for "private study, scholarship, or research" purposes.
"What Libraries are intended for" makes no sense here. Libraries are not intended for many things. Might I suggest a rephrasing? 108 is specifically to allow specific rights, mentioning nebulous "under specific conditions".
> One of these specified conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be “used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship, or research.”
Without an understanding that this is not a universally prohibitive condition, the poor phrasing makes it seem like it applies in all cases, despite the "Fair use" statement that follows.
The US Copyright Office does not require libraries to lie about fair use rights.
