Talk about "what is" all you want. I find "what will be" much more interesting. 'Cause anyone who thinks things are going to stay the way they are RE ebooks and copyright are fooling themselves.

Actually I agree. The only reason this is a hobby horse of mine is that it needs clarification. I think the people who want to "buy" their ebooks have a perfectly legitimate case. But I think it's better that they recognise that that's not what the law currently says, and lobby to change it, than to simply keep asserting that it's true because of what's written on a website's checkout button.
