Books, which were already there for thousands of years, remain the most constant way of recording people's ideas and disseminating knowledge. However, accompanying with the development of computer, internet, we are in information age which is fulfilled by massive information. When we want to search sth, do we really need to browse every relevant book? Technology also provides us incredible convenience to access the information what we exactly want as quick as possible, why can't we search books with an online library?
There are many ways to protect copyright holder's right, but simply prohibiting the application of new technology into traditional form of copyright carrier should not be one of them.
