How do you stop the physical dissemination? You don't control the used book market, you don't control the various library systems, you don't control the private lending of physical product.

Yet you want total control of all digital doppelgangers of the work, to the point of making it not available.

<Shrug> That is simply not possible considering today's technology. I think of Trademark...use it or lose it.
