I do not believe, cmbs, that the law is quite as cut and dried as you seem to believe that it is. Specifically, you seem to be ignoring the concept of "fair use" which gives buyers rights to make use of what they bought, and not necessarily in ways that the creator of that material would approve of.
I do not believe that it has been conclusively determined whether or not possession of a digital scan of a book that you own is or is not acceptable fair use. If you can provide a reference that shows otherwise, I would like to see it, otherwise, I believe that you are incorrect.
