Stonetools, your comparison of booksellerss to auto dealers misses tht point. Any product must be compared to alternative products for your analogy to be valid. Auto dealers compete with dealers selling different makes and certainly do compete with used vehicles. Competition for entertainment products are whatever the substitutes or alternatives are. I believe that eventually law will evolve to allow much broader fair use and resale rights for ebooks, movies, music, to distinguish between lending or reselling a personal copy and reproducing and distributing copies especially for profit.
