And seriously to say you need to buy it 2 times if you want to have it on 2 mediums is just wrong. This is what fair use law was all about. You do *not* own just that one medium you bought, which you are not allowed to copy at all for personal use. Its an interesting question what you actually buy if you buy a copy of a copyrighted material, since it is more and less at the same time than buying just the medium (and say i can do with the medium what i want), its also more and less at the same time than saying you actually buy the content. The best thing this is to said, is that you buy a "right of use" that includes certain things but does not include other things....
In my story I did not report it, I just see it the next hour after I notice it missing. (I hope you don't forget about the analogy here)

Sorry to be picky, but what you are buying is the medium and a single license to the contained content that lasts the length of the medium. Unfortunately precision is necessary when talking about legal issues. No offense intended.
The issue at hand is whether the ownership of that license is 1. Proveable to a court. and 2. Transferable to another medium. Only actual case decisions can answer these questions.
