Really? C'mon Scott. Reject902, scan all you want for personal use. Heck I might even scan the dingy, yellowed labels on my old disks, clean them up and then print them out on nice fresh new labels to apply to copies, as well as my original disks. There's a tendency with the old labels for the adhesive to leach through the paper over time.
Preservation always warrants a little copyright infringement. And where exactly would we all be if manuals and programs had not been copied and preserved for – ahem – academic purposes?
However, Reject902 in response to your original question ... like CJ_Miller, no I don't believe I have seen any of these YouTube videos of which you speak. Perhaps you should post a few for us here so we are all on the same page.
