I have heard the rationales and the discussion of it here, on this forum, I thought was inappropriate.

That was all I was trying to say.

There is nothing wrong in discussing how one could scan the books one owns. In many places this is completely legal. It's the distribution of that scanned content that harms the content creator, and that we do not discuss here.

Yes, breaking DRM is currently illegal in the US under DMCA. However, that law is contrary to principles of common law property rights. It denies one the right to full use of property which one has purchased. In the long run, I hope that parts of that law will be overturned.
