Halsey's Journal:
« on: March 10, 2011, 19:13:23 »
Why has no one scanned this?

We should Have detailed scans with zooming capabilities. I know several of you have a copy, so the question is who is going to do it ?...

We need maps and front to back scans of the entire book.

Why do we not already have this?

Enigma, your other post signifies why we need it scanned. At least scan the pages with barcode, please? Anyone?
I feel it

We may need permission from Bungie before we scan it.  Should somebody contact a Bungie Rep and ask them about it, and see if they'll let us scan it.  I think we should wait until we can talk to CG, though.  Let's see what he says.

I haven't researched this.

My guess is that a full scan of the book would be an affront to the powers that be.  Partial scans used solely in a non-profit context for fan criticism would seem to be appropriate to me... but may still infringe on a legal agreement somewhere.

I don't believe the journal is technically a published work.  Meaning that I don't think copies were submitted to the Library of Congress.  I think it's meant to be a fictitious "replica", or simply "merchandise" and not really a "book".  I may be wrong about this.  I don't recall seeing a copyright notice anywhere on it.

One could argue that the entire perceived value of the item- apparent by its marketing- was its potential ability to explain "mysteries of the Halo universe"; therefore, the producers of the item expected their large, intenet-enabled fan base (we, the consumers) to pick it apart page-by-page. 

And that we can, by citing page numbers and providing our observations.  But to do that you have to have a copy of your own.

How many copies do you have CG? Perhaps you could loan it to me?

What if we scanned it and put the images into a LOCKED/ Restricted area that only the most elite SGP members can view? This way Google and the public can't view it.

I feel we are missing something......

I, personally, feel that it would be a much better choice to respect Bungie's intentions regarding the journal than to take advantage of possible interpretations of it, or get by on loopholes  :police:
