I'm making no claims about whether it 'exactly' the same or or I have 'all the same rights' anything like that because that's not at issue at all.

When I borrow an ebook, I am given permission to have access to read the contents for x days. I am not seeking or taking any other rights or permissions.

p.s. just an aside, re the volume licensed software, wouldn't that depend on the terms? Also, correct me if I'm wrong but there IS case law establishing that, regardless of the EULA terms, I have a right to make a backup copy and to protect my ability to access the software.
We can start another thread if you want to discuss that...probably on another forum.
