I just noticed this: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZmariamarkham Considering some of the odd groupings (eg DIGITAL EQUIPMENT CORPORATION AND OSBORNE DOCUMENTS), it seems like this person is perhaps not putting a lot of effort into this or isn't knowledgeable. And if they aren't either of those, what are the odds they'd bother collecting and scanning these materials? On the one hand you can argue: they are just offering a service for people who can't download large volumes of documents. On the other hand, all of us are skating on some thin ice by scanning copyrighted material in the hopes that nobody really cares. It seems like a bad precedent for someone to be selling them for profit.
