And that's where your wrong. In a documentary on the gospel of Judas they showed that the historians have scanned the pages and, every little piece on photcopied pages and, into a computer 3-D program. The only time that they ever touch the pages is when they think they can fit another piece into it's place. Even then, the pages are kept between two panes of glass and, touched very lighty. Also, before even thinking of getting a page they use the 3-D computer program to make absolutely sure that it fits where they want to put it. So yes in essence they have made a new copy of the book perserving it on the best technology possible at the moment. Plus so that they don't have to deal with the old paper as, much.
the same way if a kid with his mom at the mall whines that he wants icecream for 2 hrs, then finally his mom gives in and they go to the icecream store and they dont have the flavor he wants so he whines more.

That doesn't work as an analogy. The kid doesn't pay for the icecream. More like a Mom that really wants to get a chocolate icecream with sprinkles. The Mom goes to the icecream store finds that they have chocolate but, it's going to cost her 70 dollars to get three scoops and, the store she went to is out of sprinkles. If Lucasfilm went with your scenario (i.e. giving it away) I don't think anyone would be complaining.
