That I think is exactly the point that we should be 'fighting' for. I bought $medium, and I want to consume it however I want. I didn't "request a license" to use it how they want me to. For Example, take a Stephen King book. If I bought a Stephen King hardcover book; I can use it as a paper-weight, bug-killer, timeless tome to read under the covers, or Other. If I bought the DVD movie, I can play it for personal enjoyment where-ever I want, however I want. I can also just listen to the audio output, or mute it and just have the video playing. I can consume it in anyway that I want. If I am buying an e-book, the options and methods of consumption change are different but should not be limited. If I ask my partner to read that hardcover book to me at night the Publisher doesn't get to charge me addition money for it. There have been text-to-speech computer programs going back DECADES. If I had Sound-Blaster 'SAY.exe' [1] read to me the ebook that I bought NOBODY would be crying over "you are stealing our monies!" The modern text-to-speech is nothing more then SAYv2019. If I don't want text-to-speech, I'll but the Audio-book and hear it performed by a real-person.
