[sdiy] Can anyone OCR the AN23.PDF File Here?

[David G Dixon]

Three things in response to Bernie's message below:
 
1)  Nobody at my university would care about me making scans -- copies,
maybe, if I didn't pay for them out of my own account, but scans don't cost
anything.
 
2)  Everything is simple when you don't care enough to read the fine print.
 
3)  I've lost all enthusiasm for this project now, so it's a moot point cuz
it ain't gonna happen.

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.
