Maybe not.  But I don't think it's unreasonable for a publisher, faced
with the possibility of multiple scenarios like the one I described, to
say, "Look: go ahead and use this database to fulfill ILL requests.  Just
do it with printouts instead of electronic copies, so that we don't start
seeing uncontrolled duplication and redistribution of our proprietary
content."
