Would you agree (in normal conversation) that Sir Christopher Wren built St Pauls Cathedral? I would.
Similarly, I think it's fair to say that I make a copy of a work by getting 1dollarscan to scan&OCR it.
I think *that bit* could be taken either way, and would need to be decided by a court.
But I certainly don't think it explicitly says that the copy must be made personally by the hands of the individual owner of the original copy.

Sure, I agree with what you say; the very fact that we interpret the same piece of text differently shows that it's ambiguous. Consider, though, that there is no "1dollarscan" equivalent in the UK. Perhaps I'm not alone in thinking that the law says it wouldn't be legal?
