And as I stated, you are trying to negate the entire concept of first sale/exhaustion doctrine by sleigh of hand. It's not about the condition of the goods (which is legally completely and utterly irrelevant), it's about the rights of the IP owner to control your content, you're signing on the dotted line for a massive grab, and I explained precisely what this would actually mean, because "digital content" means everything with code in it.
Your food comparison is shit. Literally (hey, you picked it, not me!). You are directly comparing something has been literally consumed with something which remains in it's original form, just like...say... a book!

The problem is that people are trying to deal with digital content according to existing paradigms that simply don't apply.

Mm-hum. For reference, MPAA or RIAA?

fundamentally different nature of digital content in comparison to physical media.

It's. The. Same. Content. The medium is not the message, and never was. Stripping people's rights simply because of the medium can only destroy the market for more convenient mediums.
Of course, I'm sure that suits you fine...
