It's not necessarily different. E-books are simply a different delivery medium as compared to hard copy infoproducts.

Besides, I'm sure you're aware as a software author, *many* software licenses allow for the transfer of the license as long as the original purchaser keeps no copies of any kind. There are also *many* licenses that don't allow transfer.

One of the best licenses I ever saw was the Borland license from the old days.

Intellectual property law WRT software has been debated hotly for many years. And I don't think the battle's over yet.
