This!
Why would anyone expect you to spend your time and effort to make free copies? We had an attorney threaten to sue us because we would not let him browse through or aerial photos of an area. We told him it was all available, but the cost went up the more he threatened. No one else on the planet had the images. We were willing to sell him a copyrighted print that he could not legally copy, but nothing more.
It was from a project in the 1950s the state government hired us to fly, but they lost their copy long ago. We had the original negatives. But we refuse to do anything for free.
