You suggested an example of that, giving up the right to resell ebooks because it is inconvenient for companies to track who has the rights to which books.

Instead you clearly intended to post an argumentative and sarcastic repsonse instead of engaging in any sort of discussion.

Sarcastic, yes. But argumentative? Nope, you're simply projecting - hint for the Americans: Sarcasm | Attack.
You go on in the same vein,
refusing to acknowledge the wider implications of the policies you're advocating. It's not an unreasonable extrapolation, bluntly, given the actions of media companies over the years.

My apologies for feeding the troll everyone but sometimes I can't help myself.

Well, er, actually I find feeding the troll in cases like this quite amusing while I'm waiting for other people to finish actually. My bad.
And why should people "have to accept" anything which disallows them from using their rights, is not substantially cheaper and is usually actually of poorer quality. This is no more and no less a call for failure on the part of the ebook industry, as happened a decade ago. Why does that need to occur again, precisely? (Renting me an ebook will only get me to pay rental prices...)
