Almost as easy as it is to buy scripts from thestation, photocopy them and
sell copies or send them out on the internet after some OCR work, no?

We're talking hours of work in the latter scenario, as opposed to 30 seconds to
download.  Thievery always happens, but you want to make it as difficult as
possible.

And photocopying a work into a scanner is a much clearer violation of copyright
for purposes of prosecution than transferring something already in file form.
