I believe there are ways for an author to protect their work and still publish it in digital form. However, it would not be in the form of simply a copy-able pdf file that can be copied far and wide. The author/publisher would have to create the firewall ihn the form of an app, and digitally grant rights to release the content to those autho.
I also took the time to copy my owned hard copy in OCR, but that copy will never be Shared because i have no permission or rights of ownership allowing me to do so. The owners of the goods would need to initiate a way to didtritbute the file to those authorized.
