Definition: digital copy


In digital electronics, all copies are identical, which is both a blessing and a curse. The blessing is that data can be maintained and remanufactured accurately ad infinitum. The curse is that anyone can duplicate copyrighted material and send it around the world in seconds. It all depends on which side of the fence you sit (see Napster).
