The threat of losing a copyright by "not defending" it via printing or ePublishing could be a great thing for eBooks - either way. If a work is truly abandoned, Project Gutenberg or Google could be interested.
It could be that a copyright holder sees the easiest and cheapest way to "defend" the copyright could be ePublishing.
I really like the idea of amending copyright to require that once published books need to be available for sale as "new" or revert to public domain early given some grace period.
