It could be argued that what you buy when you buy a DRMed ebook is the copy in the servers, and the right of making copies for you to read. In the paper-book analogy, you are buying the copy stored in the bookstore/warehouse, and they allow you to make photocopies from that... but you cannot sell the photocopies.
Man, I hate DRM
