Yes, the digital age has thrown many laws for a loop, particularly the intellectual property laws. Unfortunately it may be some time (if ever) until it is in better shape to protect the authors while still allowing proper access to their work.
The situation described in the O.P. is just one more example of what is taking place in this brave new world and what is necessary to bring the laws, the creators, publishers, sellers, etc. into it.
