But is that a good or bad thing? Whether or not a work of art is not available in your preferred format should have no bearing on whether or not you believe it is allright to copy the work. Indeed, to copy a text, it is inherent that the work is already available. The digital allows for all texts to be equally available. That is the assumption we must begin from.
When you discuss scale, referring to the number of minds that have access to a work, you are locked to the physical. The digital allows for all minds to access all works at once.
