DW>-> So, as a photographer, I'd like to point out that a lot of what
DW>-> you are offering to scan is probably copyrighted. Are you being
DW>-> careful not to
DW>Hey this is very interesting! Since I also am involved in this type
DW>of work, maybe you could tell us more. It seems to me that such
DW>items would obviously be personnal. How could someone have their
DW>wedding/vacation/historical photos/personal documents copyrighted?
   An automatic copyright exists from the time the photo is put into a 
tangible format (able to be viewed).
   The photographer holds (owns) the copyright until s/he assigns it 
to another.  
DW>And if they are copyrighted, and the owner wants to have them
DW>scanned, how can there be any type of problem? 
   Yes, there would be a problem.
   The copyright holder (the photog) has EXCLUSIVE rights to the 
reproduction and distribution of his creation.  So, if you want dupes - 
then you'll have to get them from him.  Or get an assignment of 
copyright so you may make your own copies.
