If it's true, then it's totally Ludicrous.  |
It's true, and same applies to all digital media - music, audio books, video. Although in general Amazon are a bit nicer about the terms than most, and say that you are allowed to let anyone read your ebooks so long as they are on devices authorised to your account.
IMO, the law needs reform in this area. Whether one should have the full resale rights that one has with physically embodied media is debatable. But I think there should certianly be some provision made for bulk transfer of rights in purchased electronic media.
As the law currently stands, all rights to your purchased media terminate on your death.
