This is akin to Bruce Willis' suit last summer where he wanted to include his purchased collection of 10K MP3 songs in his will. I haven't heard the settlement, if there was one.
Similarly, publishers are considering various tactics to permit the limited sale of "used" e-books. One apparent hold=up: they haven't figured out, yet, how to digitize dog-ears. :-)
