Default Re: Scanning Publications - Rules?

I agree with Dave M on this although I don't have the ability to scan and send just to do a paper copy. Recently someone wanted info but some Forum members are clear they don't want to "transgress", so I sent it anyway. It's possible to be too pedantic I think a 20/30 year old [or younger] article is no problem. If you copy something recently on sale that's another matter perhaps! I went into a copy shop once to get a quality colour print of a studio set up from the front page of a mag. Initially the staff felt it was "against the rules". I pointed out to the manager that it was front page of a Wireless World from 1966 [25 years previously at that point]. He said, Oh I see what you mean-no problem. More recently and in this electronic age I've never had a similar difficulty getting hard copies done. Anyway, in law, an intent to deprive someone of something has to be proved.
