There is no doubt in my mind that this is exactly what they will do. Printing the scans is easy, preserves artwork, halftones, colour, oddball typography, initials and other stuff. The final result will be no worse than a good quality photocopy. My bet is that they won't even proof the stuff, but just rely on the end user complaining if there is something wrong. Expect them, of course, to insert a spurious new copyright notice. They will have de-speckled the images, tweaked the aspect ratio and de-skewed them a bit, so they will no doubt believe they deserve a new copyright, and claiming copyright where one's not entitled never causes any harm anyhow. ============================================================ Gardner Buchanan <gbuchana@teksavvy.com> Ottawa, ON FreeBSD: Where you want to go.
