I believe the most relevant law is the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988:[http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1988/48/contents](http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1988/48/contents) Terms are defined in Part I, Chapter 2. Section 17 (2) defines infringement by copying for literary works: > Copying in relation to a literary, dramatic, musical or artistic work means reproducing the work in any material form.This includes storing the work in any medium by electronic means. That would be the scanning part. As for distribution via the internet, Section 20 (2) (b) includes in 'infringement by communication to the public': > the making available to the public of the work by electronic transmission in such a way that members of the public may access it from a place and at a time individually chosen by them.] Caveat: IANAL.
