I don’t mean to distribute, but to scan for myself to read digitally, am I allowed to do that legally and ethically when I buy a physical book or would that be totally unethical and illegal?

We’re entering a new world where local AI scans your photos and tells on you. It’s only a matter of time before it’s used for copyright enforcement.

Who’s to say it isn’t already? Android randomly identifying similar faces and making collections now
