Do you have a source for the claim that the To Kill A Mockingbird argument was over publishing as ebook? Just curious, the few articles I found suggest the lawsuit was regarding copyright ownership, not the publication form.
But you're right, I would argue that lack of ebook availability has little to do with copyright length or the "long conversation". Recent famous authors have opted to avoid ebooks for at least some period of time (eg: Rowling and King). So, unless you're suggesting copyright should be scrapped altogether, the choice of publishing format is something of a red herring - except that it does seem to emphasise my suggestion that technology is distorting people's perception of copyright property value.
