Well I didn't say it was a good argument.... but we all know what the real story is. The RIAA and the MPAA are behind this. They care about ipods and CD burners. They don't give a shit about photocopiers. The book publishers might, but they don't make as much money as the movie & record companies. I mean, anymore, they're poor-cousin subsidiaries of the media conglomerates.

Of course a large part of the issue here has to do with ease of transfer.
Couple clicks and you've got your CD on the hard drive, couple more they are in your portable MP3 device. Copying books takes a damn long time, and unless you are lucky enough to have a stool the whole experience is spent on your feet, and unless you are entirely stealing resources (uh, I mean Borrowing) from your employer, the costs of photocopying even a smallish book are likely higher than just going out and buying the book to begin with.

Next thinig you know, the idjits in DC will ban cars because they are used in high-speed getaways, TVs will be banned because "suggestive content" can be viewed on them, paper will be banned because plots and plans can be written on them....... The insanity never ends...............
