Look, folks, something like the same language used to be included in pbooks as well, particularly in some of my older Penguins, which warned that the printed book you purchased could not be resold, copied, etc., etc. Of course it didn't work, and in any case, how would the publisher check? Libraries went on merrily purchasing and loaning out pbooks with the warning clearly printed inside the cover with no compunction. This is nothing new. It's just that trying to track pbook usage (and resell or copying) was next to impossible, whereas with e-books it is at least within the realm of possibility, though still not very easy.
