No licence permits making copies which directly or indirectly substitute for the purchase of an original published edition (whether print or digital) or which might be used instead of commissioning work directly from an artist or writer.

The licensee must make reasonable endeavours to identify whether it subscribes to a digital version of the work in question and, if so, to use that digital version instead of creating a digital copy by scanning.

*Some licences allow limited overseas distribution of copies
