I don’t think I will donate to scanning projects any more in the future.
I would admit, that’s a great choice. Having money be involved in a fanmade project based on copyrighted material might be considered offence and/or breaking the rules of this forum site, hence the copyright issues Trist has pointed out. Look at Sonic Omens, where of course, money was involved in this project. And since Trist was able to thankfully refund the donations, and based on what he said, I bet he may no longer be distributing it. Sucks though since I really do want to see it though.
