Yes, you are absolutely right. Of course there is a clause allowing them to do whatever they feel like with the books you get from them. I like the duality you've pointed out. They sure would love for a copy to qualify as property when determining punitive damages. It would be great to have legislation and precise definitions for digital rentals and purchases, so that your rental term or purchased content cannot be rescinded arbitrarily. And I think it would be great to have stronger legal restrictions on removing or altering content, or running software on a device when its renter or owner does not wish for that to occur.
