I think scanning is a great idea. I never thought of doing that. I could get rid of a bunch of excess paper this way! This is good to know that it is not a violation of any copyright laws. I would not try to sell someone elses pattern willingly.

I photo copy the patterns I want and put them into Lever arch folders under items like Applique, pieced etc. Works great and it doesn't take up all the space in the computer. then I give the books to my quilt friends the same way as I get the books in the first place.

Even when you bought the magazine and it's for your own personal use???
If you bought the magazine for your own use, you can use the pattern however you wish. BUT if you scan or copy, then pass the magazine on, someone else is getting that pattern for free which would then possibly be against copyright laws. Once you pass the magazine on, it may no longer be your personal use.
This is an interesting thread. I hope someone who is a legal person researches this. I really enjoy looking through old quilting magazines left for others at guild. I'd hate to stop this practice.
