This doesn't seem to have been covered anywhere, and maybe it is a controversial issue to raise, but what is the situation with copyright when scanning games?
For example, is it legal to scan a game that has been purchased, for personal use?

It is legal so long as you do not distribute it (including screenshots) in any way. I got hit by Days of Wonder for screenshotting a game I made. After speaking with the CEO, I learned my lesson. If you make it, keep it to yourself unless you have permission. I know some companies give permission for vassal modules under the condition that they are low-res. just FYI.
