This may be the issue you are having.
There is no
implicit license. It's
explicit when you pay money for the eBook, you are told what the license is.
The problem is that most people just click through the license, making assumptions about what it says. Even if they were to read it, their eyes would probably glaze over with the legal-ese.
Most people assume, though, that when they pay money for an eBook, they are getting the same rights and restrictions that they get when they pay for a pBook.
IHMO, when a company offers a DRMed eBook, they need to make it very clear what the customer is paying for. Not many eBook companies do that.
