This probably doesn't apply to the case at hand but might be defensible. Section 108 permits preservation copies made of items that have been lost but from where does one get a copy to make a replacement copy. It would have to be borrowed from someone else with that out of release title. Over time many of those OP titles will be only available as preservation copies and though dicey might be acceptable to loan if only for the purpose of replacing a lost copy.
