You would think a paper to electronic conversion would be more than a copy, but the courts have ruled otherwise, several times, I believe.

Conversion from printed form to an electronic form is likely also a derivative work (not merely just a copy or reproduction) and the right to create derivative works is also an exclusive right of the copyright owner.   Received on Wed Sep 06 2006 - 19:45:00 GMT
