I am all for ebook resale rights. The problem is how to make sure that the original copy is being destroyed? I guess that is the reason in some ways they give you more rights with ebooks then with pbooks. Ever had 4-6 people simultaneously read the same copy of a pbook? You can do that legally with a DRMed ebook.

But since DRM is easily removed, in the end the industry can only trust in the honesty of their customers. And therefore the restrictive schemes will only backfire. The only way forward is to remove the restrictions and educate people.
