And that's a darned good thing, too!

But the issue is that once you sell the original CD/DVD the software came on and removed all copies from your system, that's it, it's gone. You no longer have access to it. If you sell an eBook and remove all copies you have, you may still be able to download it again. That's the real issue here. You cannot sell an ebook and lose access to it (in most cases). So How do you sell an eBook without having any access to it after the sale?
