That's a very interesting point. Usually one thinks of e-media as being vulnerable to piracy, but the new PDFs are protected. (Possibly that protection can be broken: I don't know, I've never tried). And you can't sell PDfs on Ebay - piracy is assumed, you can't really claim you've deleted all your own copies without proof. There should be a legal way round this, but I can't see it at the moment.
