How have e-books changed copyright laws?

• marvindanig 8y ago
  Although on my parent comment I did not say e-books changed copyright law but assuming good-faith: Experience of gaming has been great. Experience of watching TV or movies is great. Experience of listening to music is great. Any high-end software on web has been great. But, e-books? Nope. Let's give them silly pesky files instead. Or let them buy hardware that's off the web. This is understandable because if I were on the lobbying side, I'll want to keep things like this only and send the market to believe and buy physical books instead. More control = more profit.

    I’m not following how the death of print books would lead to better copyright law.

      books go native on web => ability to publish and update book on your own site just like a blog => my readers engage with me => meh copyright laws held by middlemen. ;-) you have something on your mind?
