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.

Wrong. When I purchase a pBook, I have a certain set of rights relating to the physical book. I can do anything I want to with that pBook - up to making a copy of it.
With DRM, if I get an eBook, I have no rights.
That's why DRM means "Digital
Restriction Management."
