That doesn't mean those terms are legally binding, which is what we're discussing.

Besides which, it's a clear-cut case of copyright infringement, in that the "originals" are still available for you to download

How is that infringement? There's a
possibility of infringement there, but infringement does not exist unless you actually download a second copy after you have transferred ownership. Just because you
can do something, doesn't mean that you have broken the law.
Besides, if this becomes the norm, I assume the sellers would make a way for you to inform them that you've transferred ownership and they can remove the download links from your account.

Why do you say that? It sounds like you're assuming that everyone will behave like criminals. I guess in your world it's "guilty until proven innocent". I can also scan a pBook before I sell it, that doesn't mean everyone selling books to a used bookstore are criminals.
