Come on HarryT, use your imagination.
Honestly, I'm sure there's a lot of people that don't know why there should be anything stopping them from "pirating" an ebook they already own in physical format. If they could scan their own book to make a personal copy, what's wrong with grabbing a copy someone else has taken the trouble of scanning...is what those nefarious ne'er do wells might say.
I'm going to out myself now, and admit that I used to "pirate" music I own on CD. Why? Because it was faster to download the MP3 than rip the CD. It didn't seem unreasonable that I should be able to grab a pirated version of a song I could have ripped anyway; there's nothing particularly magical about one set of bits over another.
With that sort of thinking (morally reprehensible though it may be), I can see this service running into some issues.
