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.
I was under the impression that the main point of DRM was to prevent blanket copying of a product and sharing with others who haven't purchased said product.
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.
