When you "buy" a Kindle book, this is what you agree to. You may not think you are getting this, but this is what you get.
For purposes of our discussion, its largely irrelevant. The Author's copyright applies whether its a sale or license. But more prominent display of this would cut down on self-righteous rhetoric about how DRM interferes with "their" property that they "bought."
