Hypothetically if they had the technology to create a paperback book that self-destructs when anybody but you opens it, would that business model be illegal?

Hypothetically if they had the technology to create a paperback book that self-destructs when anybody but you opens it, would that business model be illegal? As far as I know, SCOTUS said companies can't use the legal system to prevent resale of their books. But did they say that technical solutions are also banned?
- zaroth 7y agoIf you buy a product which is designed for a single use, knowing that it’s a single use product, and obviously this is something that would have to fail gracefully and safely, I really don’t see a problem with that. Obviously companies (and therefore customers) should be paying for the ecological impact of their waste product.
