Let's say I have eBooks I have decided I am not going to read a second time. Now, the DRM would stop me from selling these eBooks. But if these eBooks were DRM stripped due to the exception to the DMCA, I should then have the right to sell one copy of each books I want to sell as long as when I send off these eBooks on CD, I no longer have any copies at all. My fair use is being violated if I am told I cannot sell them to someone else.
