I guess you missed the bit where David said he would use a scanner at his
place of work (university). Scanning a few pages would probably go
unnoticed, scanning 6000+ pages would definitely raise some eyebrows and
might invoke some pointy questions. Especially since the copyright owner
has said he doesn't want this to happen.      Neil

Thanks Neil - you got it.


Here we were worried about a person making scans of intellectual property which he does not own on equipment that he does not own.  Likely, he could do the scanning and not get caught by his employer, and he COULD use the scans himself, although not give them or sell them to anyone else.  He DID NOT propose to sell them or give them to anyone - except to give them to me. (Yet - he told everyone here.)  I do not want them for my own use.  And I could not use them in a commercial release because I did not pay him or (more importantly) his university for the services. That's a 2.5 foot stack to feed the machine - certainly wear and tear.   And anyway, I would not use scans of copies when I have originals. The base topic here, I believe, related to a proposed commercial issue of an digital product.


Further, there are usually issues (property tax exemptions) that apply to using university space/equipment for commercial purposes.  Nothing is simple.
