That's a false sense of security because it relies on the honor system to delete any files you have on your devices. For example, I can borrow an audiobook from my library and load it on to my Sansa Clip Zip. At the end of the loan period, that copy of the book is freed so someone else can borrow it. Meanwhile, I still have a completely intact copy of that book sitting on my Clip Zip. I can listen to it any time I want; in effect, I now own that book.
