Please correct me if I am wrong, but the original use of copyright was to stop replication of the material - people using printing presses to make new copies. So the container and the information in that container are yours to use as you see fit apart from duplicating it for sale to other parties.
That's why DRM gets up my nose. If I can't lend it to friends as I would a traditional container (a paper book), I'm just getting ripped off.
