And it still happens even with digital technology. If you, say, rotate a .jpg file a few thousand times, the image will start to degrade as it doesn't perfectly copy over everything and the very slight losses start to add up.

Somewhat different issue there. JPEG compression is lossy. It doesn't happen on a BMP. Though you can probably link the two up with underlying information theory.
