There's not much digital content out there currently that you have the ability to sell etc. like you do physical property. And it's hardly just Apple putting DRM on stuff etc. It's a problem that plagues all areas of digital content, aside from music which if finally DRM free--even in iTunes.
That's not true. I bought a lot of DRM free E-books from Addison Wesley which can be sold without any problems. O'Reilly E-Books are free from (most) DRM and the software I buy isn't DRM-investated (say goodbye to the slave DRM from Starcraft 2 and Steam).

As long as I'm not using it concurrently with several devices I'm fine.

I would rather say you're one of the marketing trained customers who accept bad quality in digital products ... but don't think everybody accepts that bad deal for the the buying customer
