In stories, people always try to get rid of a curse by tricking someone else into buying or accepting it. this implies curses are analog.
it’s not like passing on, for example, an mp3 file. when you pass on a curse you are passing on the originalcopy (thus freeing yourself). which means curses are analog.
alternatively, curses are digital but are under stringent DRM rules
