Iwouldl ike to take a moment in the disucssion of ebooks as a service to note the definitions of the words that are being used. Goods are a group of merchndise that are sold according to Miriam and Webster (m-w.com). There is no mention that the items sold needs to be a of a phiscal nature what so ever thus in my opinion software and/or an ebook can be goods. And a service is defined as work that is rendered to a customer, thus I do not belive that either ebooks and/or software qualify.
Thus it is my contention that as a part of goods that may be sold on a market they are subject to the same rights and restrictions as the dead wood books would be. I am not a lawyer and have no knowledge of the legal issues but it would be my contention that ebooks since they are part of goods they may be resold at any time. If I buy a license for say a Dale Brown book, which I have done, I may chose to sell that license at a future time.
