I notice that Article 8 very carefully avoids speaking of
"electronic publication", but rather speaks of "electronic
distribution".

This seems wise, because the contents of an optical disk
can only be put there with an electronic device, and can
only be read with an electronic device. Moreover, if a file
on an optical disk is copied to a hard disk (or USB-stick,
etc), it has become an electronic file, indistinguishable
from other electronic files. So, in many respects publication
on optical disk is a form of electronic publication ...
