Yeah but the difference (so the argument goes) is that a digital copy of a digital original is a perfect copy. When you photocopy something it's a less than perfect copy, and besides, if you're talking about a book, photocopies of all the pages are not as useful/valuable unless you have them bound.... etc. etc. etc.
Of course as H_P points out they'd do it if they could get away with it!
