Believing real books
I thought this was interesting: Apparently, if you there is a "real" (i.e. paper) copy of a book, then people are more likely to treat the electronic versions as legitimate.

I would be willing to venture that it is more about the change to the different media than it is anything else.
As we progress, later generations will most likely care less if they can have a hard copy.
Of course I could be totally off base.
Uncle Skip,
Good point -- I agree, probably generational.
Example: I still buy actual CDs, and am uncomfortable with buying just plain mp3 files.
