The worst part, imo, in that "law", is the part that re-selling copies of books would be permitted. I think that should never, ever, ever be allowed. Making copies for own use, yes, format shifting for own use, yes, but selling, never.

I didn't catch that part, can you quote this?
Speaking of selling: most ebooks copies are generally
in direct violation of First Sale Doctrine as I cannot re-sell them.
I should be able to resell them as no, author SHOULD NOT GET A SINGLE CENT again from the transfer of license - enough from this silent push for perpetuated incomes and mopping the floor eith
our (Fair Use) rights (let alone the fact any author can only draw isnpiration from our common world and build on his cultural background which also rooted in the common pool.)
License revoked and re-registered, that's it, ebook resold.
