Chris Meadows at TeleRead has an interesting post about the prospects for reselling digital content:

It might be possible for an e-book service to use some kind of DRM to enforce trust by nullifying someone’s right to read the e-book file on his hard drive if he has “sold” it to someone else-but this would face the same problem as e-book “libraries” that rely on DRM to “check in” a book from a library patron so it can be “checked out” to another one. If a patron chooses to crack the DRM, the book is his to keep even after he’s “passed it on” to someone else.

There’s got to be a better way than all this DRM (Digital Rights Management) technology, right?  But what?  What?!
