Bingle: You beat me to most of your statements.
And regarding scanning a book not being a violation of DRM, I imagine that a crafty lawyer could press that it violates DMCA; scanning implies that you took "analog" material and made it "digital."

Of course, I know very little about copywright law, and could very well be talking out my waste tentacle. ;-
