If that were true then successively published hard copy editons of the same
book by the same publisher could not be copyrighted.
What we are saying is: Do your own scanning, your own html, your own
design, your own layout, find your own art, create your own book covers and
provide your own assembly. Then if you still feel it is unfair to copyright
your own contributions, don't.
As for me and my house, every copy of any book published carries this note:
All Rights are reserved for the original creators.

[Moderator: Just for clarification, a second edition of a work that's
still copyrighted is also copyrighted, under the same copyright as the
original. There may not be a separate copyright for the new edition, if
no sufficiently original changes were made, but the original copyright still
applies to the second edition for as long as the original copyright
remains in force. For more information about when a new version
can be considered copyrightable in its own right (as what's known as
a "derivative work") in the US, see the Library of Congress' Circular 14,
online at http://www.loc.gov/copyright/circs/circ14.pdf - JMO]
