I have given a lengthy description of how paper books are protected today.

Sure, you can scan a paper book. But the resulting photo image does not resemble the book in any way. And you can use OCR, which often comes up with errors, needs proof reading and the result still has nothing to do with the original paper book.

Justify why they need to "protect" something that they do not own.
They own the right to decide, what you are allowed to do with your book, especially when it comes to making copies.
