I do not believe that it has been conclusively determined whether or not possession of a digital scan of a book that you own is or is not acceptable fair use. If you can provide a reference that shows otherwise, I would like to see it, otherwise, I believe that you are incorrect.

Ok. It's immediately obvious that you have never read any legal documents to learn about and understand what Fair Use is. I'd bet you've been getting your information from someone either ignorant or purposely misleading you to make their illegal activities seem ok. I have seen MANY websites with "Fair Use Disclaimers" and it's complete nonsense. Try getting on a legitimate website and learning what Fair Use really is. Because this type of response just proves your ignorance.
And I specifically called the digital versions illegal: if you have any
illegal versions, that is illegal, regardless of your opinion. So really, not only are you ignorant of a law you're preaching about (and using to defend illegal activities) but you don't even read the post thoroughly.
