520    "If you buy a book at the bookstore, you own it. You can 
       take it home, scribble in the margins, put in on the shelf,
       lend it to a friend, sell it at a garage sale. But is the 
       same thing true for the ebooks or other digital goods you 
       buy? Retailers and copyright holders argue that you don't 
       own those purchases, you merely license them. That means 
       your ebook vendor can delete the book from your device 
       without warning or explanation -- as Amazon deleted 
       Orwell's 1984 from the Kindles of surprised readers 
       several years ago. These readers thought they owned their 
       copies of 1984. Until, it turned out, they didn't. In The 
       End of Ownership, Aaron Perzanowski and Jason Schultz 
       explore how notions of ownership have shifted in the 
       digital marketplace, and make an argument for the benefits
       of personal property.Of course, ebooks, cloud storage, 
       streaming, and other digital goods offer users convenience
       and flexibility. But, Perzanowski and Schultz warn, 
       consumers should be aware of the tradeoffs involving user 
       constraints, permanence, and privacy. The rights of 
       private property are clear, but few people manage to read 
       their end user agreements. Perzanowski and Schultz argue 
       that introducing aspects of private property and ownership
       into the digital marketplace would offer both legal and 
       economic benefits. But, most important, it would affirm 
       our sense of self-direction and autonomy. If we own our 
       purchases, we are free to make whatever lawful use of them
       we please. Technology need not constrain our freedom; it 
       can also empower us"--Back cover.
