[LDS] question on microfilm

[Jesse L. Allen]

I am new to the group and have a question for the group. I am a member of 
the church and was working in the Family History Library.One of our non 
members that uses the library a lot had a question for me that I couldn't 
answer.

She wants to know, why is some film that has been used to extract temple 
records in the 1800's restricted to use only in SL? Why does it say you can 
only view this if you are a member and a direct ancestor? Why does it say 
the you cannot copy this information except your direct ancestor when these 
records are over 100 years old? I couldn't answer but would like to know 
what to tell her. I just said I can't answer. She said the records are 
extracted to IGI, so why can't anyone get a copy of the original?

Can someone please help me answer this. I don't know what to say to her.
