eBookNewser Readers Respond To Selling Used Digital Books

So…while it sounds nice, it also sounds like it’s outside the licensing agreement and still breaks copyright…I’m not a legal expert by any means, but it seems to me that the authors/publishers would have to change their licensing statements and allow this before it isn’t anything but piracy?”
