I totally understand what you mean by levels of permission according to a computer and a set of databases. Thank you for speaking to the difference betweeen social permissions and purely necessary ones for programming purposes. For example, I as a volunteer have computer permission to both view and download things from step 1 where a patron or potental scanner of a book would have permission to view but not download things from step 1.

E.

E,

E,

To clarify: I was talking to Gerald in a purely technical sense.  Permission
on a computer level means completely different thing and not what you and
others may assume.  In heinsight, I should've e-mailed gerald privately so
as not to confuse the list.  My sincerest appologies.

I am interest in the fact that somone wishing to scan a book would somehow have legal trouble knowing that the book is already scanned, validated and waiting to be approved. What harm would be done if a user, or anyone for that matter, knew that such a book existed and therefore did not waste effort re-scanning it?
