Wy can't we lend, give away or sell our digital media?
Do you remember going to a flea market and exploring the second hand books, and records? Now that everything's digital, we've lost the ability to (legally) buy, trade or give away media.
As a result, millions of people are building libraries of music, books, and movies that they can never give away or sell to family and friends, without making an illegal copy. The solution is to build a system where ownership of any particular digital copy can be transferred to another person.
The main difference between transferring ownership vs copying digital media is that the media is removed form one account, and transferred to the second. Technically, this also includes the ability to transfer media between two of your own accounts, such as moving a movie from your Amazon account to your Apple account and vice versa.
For this to work, the industry just needs to establish standards for moving media between accounts and devices.
The bottom line is once we purchase something, we should have the same rights and privileges to sell, lend, or give it away.
