I see that all of that is the case. I suppose that many people are arguing that Amazon (and other tech companies) have a legally invalid DRM model. Is there a clear argument as to why that is?

(I'm not trying to make the argument personally. I spent years liberating my books until I decided it was just too much trouble. Now I just download and read.)
