Does the difference in scholarly opinions regarding copyright permit the continuation of my website, which facilitates access to rare and expensive scanned books, given a weak profit motive, or must it be shut down?

Some scholars permit photographing books and copying copyrighted software without the owners' permission if it is solely for personal use and not for profit or commercial gain.

Accordingly, this is not permissible for the inquirer's website due to its profit-making objective. He must limit himself to books whose owners have authorized their publication.
