[free-sklyarov] AAP Position Paper on Scanning

[Vladimir Katalov]

Hello,

http://www.publishers.org/home/abouta/copy/scanning.htm

> The AAP recognizes that there are acceptable uses of scanning
> technology. We are concerned, however, that many of the activities
> for which scanning is now being used are not among them, but are
> instead infringements. The very attributes of simplicity, rapidity,
> fidelity, and breadth of distribution and display that attract users
> to scanning are hallmarks of its potential to devastate the creative
> works that are the subject of the scanning. They are also indicators
> that scanning of copyrighted works, if undertaken without
> permission, is usually illegal.
