nearly any joe / joanne can amass thousands of ebooks and mp3 files (or licenses for them as the case seems to be). it takes no great personal effort to do that and 99.99999% of the times the item isn't even rare. there's no real personal mark on that.

But does it mean they have not had a meaningful life. Or because you and I don't obsess on that issue we have had more meaningful lives. I am still not understanding your saying

if someone is worried about what happens to a $3.99 ebook, then they clearly aren't leaving much else so they've led a pretty meaningless life. if someone is saying they've got tens of thousands of dollars tied up in this, then maybe they should have paid more attention to what they're buying or had a more suitable contract drafted.

It is like saying if you give $5 to charity then that is all you have or all you are worth.
I don't care about leaving eBooks, and you don't either, but those who do are possibly reasonable human beings with a few bucks in the bank and maybe quite a few. They aren't necessarily losers with no possessions other than a $3.99 eBook as you imply, in fact I really doubt that is ever the case.
