I have stacks of duplicate BYTE magazines.
Would it be a sin to have them cut-up to be scanned, page-by-page?
Nothing from the 70's, I would do 80's era only.
Has anyone ever done this?
They wouldn't be posted online, it would be for personal research only.
I would certainly share the info with others if requested.

I think they are common enough, at least the 80s ones, that a single
set can be sacrificed for scanning. Even the earlier ones aren't
rare, but they do fetch a few $ on ebay so one might have second
thoughts there.

Many people are starting to scan and post magazines (bombjack.org has
many Commodore mags, often the fulls runs, for download.) I scan
manuals and ad materials - I have not done magazines yet. I'd be
curious to know what techniques are out there for doing them.

Why not? Are Byte's owners still active in publishing?

Byte was sold by McGraw-Hill to CMP Media, which was subsequently bought by United
Business Media. For a while, it operated as a web-based publication at www.byte.com.
That now redirects to www.drdobbs.com, what's left of another storied dead-tree
computer rag. Presumably, UBM owns the rights to the 80's-era back-issues, though I
suppose it's possible they stayed with McGraw-Hill.
