Second, a book can be
used without also, in the process, making a copy of it, while use of
software, by definition, also requires making a copy of the software.
Uh, not always so...
I have plenty of software that runs directly off CD. I'm not making a copy
of it to run it. Unless you're implying the process of reading it into
memory to execute is copying it. IMHO that's a mighty fine line.
