"Saddled with DRM", how exactly? It gives publishers a right to their content as defined by copyright law, and lets you put on un-DRM-ed PDF's and text files in any way you see fit.

- andreyf 17y agoIt doesn't seem like it, but from what I understand in the wikipedia article you linked, while the first-sale doctrine says copyright law doesn't apply to resale of copyright, it doesn't guarantee it your reselling as a right. But I don't know much about it at all, please correct me if I'm wrong.
