"Many of the worst ideas in recent copyright laws have been driven by some
influential companies’ fear of the transition from analog to digital. Whereas
analog formats – vinyl, books, cinematic releases of films – are relatively
easy to control, digital ones are not. Once a creation is in a digital form,
anyone can make copies and distribute them on the Internet. Traditional
copyright industries seem to think that digital versions of everything will be
freely available everywhere, and that no one will ever buy analog versions.
That’s not the case with vinyl records, and a recent post on Publisher’s Weekly
suggests that analog books too, far from dying, are going from strength to
strength"
