I bought it, so it's mine thereafter. So, by your own reasoning, when I buy a piece of I.P., I should have the same "rights" as I do with the apple, right? I bought it. If you say I don't have those rights, then you are admitting that I.P. is different from Physical Property, and different rules apply. So if different rules apply, how do same ethics and morals apply?

Nor do ethics or morals have anything to do with religion.
Ralph I agree with you and the rights. If I agree to sell you my Intellectual Property and then you decide to sell it to someone else. I have no problem with that .... provided of course you did not actually keep a copy of it yourself.
That's the ethics and morals that apply.
Different rules do not apply, that's exactly my point. It shouldn't matter if it is a physical book or a digital book.
