Actually, even doing that is in breach of your license agreement. Amazon does not grant you the right to re-assign your content rights to a third party.

Also, your analogy to photo-copying a book is incorrect as well. Photocopying a book is more like using a cassette recorder to copy songs off of FM radio.

In the digital copyright debates people consistently use analogies of physical products (on all sides of the arguments) to convey their points, and I wish they would stop. They don't apply and they never will.
