IOW, it is a completely arbitrary distinction?
See, I always thought the issue was, it isn't cost-effective for them to ship you the pbook after they scan it.
So if it isn't destroyed, they end up with a book they were never entitled to.
Naturally if you scan it yourself you may keep the pbook (which you are entitled to) or destroy it as you wish.
Edit: four revisions or so in a few minutes!
Well, I believe the case study of ripping a borrowed cd is a perfect parallel to these scanning services.
