Car manuals, Useful to have these downloadable? Options

[khye]

Anyone think it would be useful to have the repair manuals for the 6Gen Celica downloadable from the site?
I presume they could be scanned in and saved as .pdf?

Or would they take up too much server space?
Would there be a copyright issue?

I know it is a pain in the Butt for all us JDM Jap import drivers,
none of our cars seem to come with the manual,
Perhaps it's because the manuals in Japan do not come in english?

Oreo posted a link a while back where another celica site
had scanned pages of certain diagrams for the GT4
(thanks for that Oreo). There's a guy on Ebay uk who's
selling the complete toyota model range of manuals on
CD and he's got by the copyright issue by claiming the data
has been gathered and placed in his own freeware software
package. Ebay originally objected but reversed the decision
for him to sell the info on their site. The package is a "Mitchell" database (USA origin I think).
