You CANNOT touch the file - you can touch the harddrive or the cdrom etc, but NOT the file. Just as you cannot touch the content of the book - but only the paper itself. But yes, this is getting a pure philosophical discussion - though Zelda is right and the defintion of matter is a physical one.
There is no difference between the coke in a bottle and the coke in a glas - there is no difference between the p-book and the e-book.
And yes - I cannot copy a coke - but it is material. But a file is not. You contradict yourself. But we found an agreement at last - this leads to nothing and we can get back to topic.
