Well, in the first case I guess it's possible if you bought a used book and scanned it, but the original "theft" there took place when you bought the used book, not when you scanned it. And since when do you care what the law says? I thought it was all about a moral position, regardless of the legal realities?

Did you steal the "It's theft because nobody took it from me, but if somebody takes it from me it isn't theft" argument from the Rev. Dodgson?
