Isn't that what they want with the PAPER books too, only it's technologically not possible after the first "sale"? I do NOT mind paying creative people for their works. I feel it's not only the *right* thing to do, but it helps other people when they get their creative urge on too. But the whole thing of "you can only read it once, unless you pay me AGAIN".
Egads, this is just nuts. I'd rather be flayed alive and forced to watch Jar Jar Binks talking all day to Barney about hugging and crap.
