EDIT: Answering my own question: Yes, there is. Nate ran it two weeks ago. And it sounds a lot less sensationalist in Nate's version. Two weeks must be about the average time it takes Kozlowski to rip off, tweedle-dumb down and hype up a story, right?
I don't know about less sensational. The very idea of new DRM is bad enough. That it's being developed by Sony, of Sony rootkit fame, gives me chills.

Seriously, I can't even imagine the level of data collection and control that would be needed to even begin a system of tracking ebook resales.
