Huh. Never quite looked at it that way, but you are right. I can see how physical book is a form of a license to read a literary work. It is however naturally impossible to revoke. It would be the same if digital content had no DRM - which is generally not the case.

So I guess DRM and you not being able to download and use content outside the company's ecosystem is the real issue here.
