There is no dispute that section 109 applies to works in digital form. 
Physical copies of works in a digital format, such as CDs or DVDs, are 
subject to section 109 in the same way as physical copies in analog 
form. Similarly, a lawfully made tangible copy of a digitally 
downloaded work, such as a work downloaded to a floppy disk, Zip™ 
disk, or CD-RW, is clearly subject to section 109.
