Copyright has nothing to do with it, at least in the USA, Kevin, because you wouldn't be scanning it for financial gain or commercial use.
Are you telling me you have never copied a newspaper or magazine clipping for a friend? Ever? I sincerely hope you are not.
And, to gainsay your argument -"If it was an old issue which was no longer available I would consider scanning it," being "unavailable" does not,
per se, negate a copyright. Copyrights continue on many out-of-print publications.
FYI,
Octane is not readily available on US newstands, especially outside of such markets as New York, or Los Angeles.
