This! The technology to scan an image has been around for over 70-80+ years. Back then a photo or - a negative of a photo could be “drum scanned” making a backup copy - typically another hard copy (physical print). Then with computer technology and it’s storage capabilities - tape, floppy, hard drives all your older data would be archived again by a person or teams. Or all that blackmail is still sitting in a storage facility in boxes in a temperature controlled environment. Just because the original blackmail wasn’t created with a digital camera doesn’t mean it can’t be archived digitally today.
