Any other method of allowing you to "loan or sell" the file really is nothing more than demanding the right to be able to infringe on others copyrighted works.

So the first sale doctrine only applies if any kind of infringement is made impossible? I COULD copy a cd and sell the original, I don't do it but i could do it. If you can verify and control where a file I pay for is, if and where i can back it up, how and when I lend it then it isn't my file.
