The Los Angeles Times has an update on the possibility of used eBook sales. So far, the attempt to re-sell digital content has been defeated by judges in the U.S. and Germany (since selling an eBook requires making a copy of it, thus infringing on the author’s copyright).
It would be nice to think that saner minds will prevail. And it is not inevitable just because Amazon wants to do it. The only way you can sell a used eBook is to make a copy of it…and that’s infringement.
