    You bought it, it should be yours to do with in perpetuity as you please.

        People can buy multiple copies if so they wish to. Most digital sellers are perfectly happy to charge you multiple times for things you technically already own. Artificial scarcity by way of limiting a digital good is unethical.

          I was under the impression that the main point of DRM was to prevent blanket copying of a product and sharing with others who haven’t purchased said product.

            If I buy an e-book I should be able to read it on any device I want. If I purchase software I should be able to install it and use it on as many devices I own that I want.

      You can’t buy a book, print off a ton of copies, and then sell those copies. You can do whatever you want with your book, lend out, give it away, but you’re not allowed to profit off it.

        Sure you are. You’re allowed to sell it to a book store, and if it’s somehow more valuable than what you paid when you bought it, you profit.

            Legally I cannot, but physically the book does not come with a device that prevents me from doing so.
