The "lack of interest" I was referring to is apathy rather than fear. If a book didn't sell well, or the author is dead and their family doesn't really care, some of the books simply
will not get digitized until they become out of copyright, which runs the (admittedly tiny, but still there) risk of losing the work
entirely.
