You're in a comment thread where correcting errors in a movie was compared to the destruction of a fresco. I argued it was not the same because the original is still available in the former case. Your argument is that it is not actually available. I don't know how else I'm supposed to interpret this. If the original is not available then it's an act of destruction. If the original is available then it's fine.

Where it goes off the rails is when you say the original is not available when it plainly is, you just don't want to deal with the very minor hassle of buying a used copy.
