Thanks for the thread and the link!
If you purchase software that comes on some sort of physical medium such as a CD, you are allowed to resell. But if it's a download and you have no physical medium, you don't have the right to resell. Same exact program, but one has physical medium and the other does not.

What I think would work is if you bought an eBook from say BooksOnBoard and you wanted to sell that eBook, if you sold it, then that eBook would be removed from your account and placed in the account of the person buying it. That way, you'd have no access to download it again. That would mean that you can only sell to people with an account on the same site and that georestrcitions are not an issue.
