But I do not understand anything more, now. :(

Does this answer imply that by using Internet technologies, authors are now using different trading practices ?

If the Internet trading practices are different, why do authors want to apply their external practices to Internet trading ? And if the Internet trading remains the same, why do not admit that Internet technologies are enforced as "usage of trade" ?
