Ebooks only consist of the words (the copyrighted stuff) - and limitations are similar to the words contained in a pbook. Only way I can see it get changed is by declaring parts of the copyright laws illegal.

The terms did not exist since the beginning of time. Someone wrote them and put this clause there. Was that legal?
And how it is that despite the format allowing more freedom, the consumers have fewer rights with digital content?
