People can buy multiple copies if so they wish to. Most digital sellers are perfectly happy to charge you multiple times for things you technically already own. Artificial scarcity by way of limiting a digital good is unethical.

If I buy an e-book I should be able to read it on any device I want. If I purchase software I should be able to install it and use it on as many devices I own that I want.
it really do be as simple as that. computers made data effortless to reproduce and distribute yet people are unironically against it because publishers don’t get to profit off every single copy.
You can’t buy a book, print off a ton of copies, and then sell those copies. You can do whatever you want with your book, lend out, give it away, but you’re not allowed to profit off it.
Ask yourself who do these IP laws protect.
Hint: It’s not you or the writer.
Sure you are. You’re allowed to sell it to a book store, and if it’s somehow more valuable than what you paid when you bought it, you profit.

Legally I cannot, but physically the book does not come with a device that prevents me from doing so.
