I thought the case we were discussing was *Bernie*, not a generalized
"you," acquiring the scans from whoever made them, after the scans were
made with his permission but with no payment.  He doesn't need permission
from himself to do that, and as copyright owner he's allowed to use them
commercially.  He is not obligated to pay for the scanning service if he
and the person who provides the service agree on no payment, and their
doing so doesn't change his copyright claim.
