Reverse it: If you've already purchased a softcopy, why does a hardcopy cost anything? Because the hardcopy has intrinsic value? So your position is essential

Because the hardcopy has intrinsic value? So your position is essentially that a softcopy has no intrinsic value, which is very arguable.
- BrandonY 13y agoThe hardcopy has EXTRINSIC value. You own it, and you can resell it. The softcopy has very little extrinsic value. You neither own it nor can give it away. There is some intrinsic value to the softcopy, but mostly convenience and being freed to sell your hardcopy.
