No, it's most certainly
not a "red herring", as you call it. Copyright law is all about the making of copies (by definition!), and if the ability to re-sell an ebook is dependent upon there being no other copies of that ebook held by the seller, it is very pertinent to ask to what lengths the seller has to go to in order to ensure that this is the case. I do
not know what the answer to that question is.
