Not so. You are buying the medium (the file) and a licence to run it on your specific device. Computer software works the same way.
It's not too far removed from buying a paper book. You are buying the sheets of paper, but not the "ownership" of the contents. You can't go out and re-publish that content and sell it for yourself. Generally speaking, you have no rights at all over that content.
