First of all, let`s clarify problem with scanning journals and what doest it mean?
Scanning journals is the electronic copy of the real magazine which was multiplyed by ordinarty scanner, usually every page is a separated image that after scanning was upload to the hosting and posted somewhere in the internet. The most popular place is livejournal. As an example.
Usually, scanning magazines is a japanese regularly editions of jrock and japanese ordinary life, fashion etc.
The main issue is a intellectual property and ownership relations. Usually, scanleitors or people who buy magazines scanning them and face to the public, ask users to credit journals as...their own work!!!
Which means that they automatically become owners of the whole edition o.O
On my opinion, this is crap...No doubt, it`s a good work to show public their favoirute idols, BUT for what you need requirements and credits adressing to them as the author while all copyrights already reserved in Japan between publishers and PR offices as well as with printed company.
I guess, this is a real disturbance, infringement, violation or whatever you can named it.
It can be justify as impossibility to buy these magazines in your own country. However, I find some of them in Australia and, Australia, honestly not so big fan of japanese music and lifestely, however...
Unfortunately, this problem is not a necessary condition that scanleitors strongly advise you to do, it`s already...tradition...Example or as it showing here
