Why is lending or gifting what is supposedly yours a bizarre new right?
I notice that you still left this right undefined, and continue to describe it in vague terms.
What about devices that can only download content because they are incapable of transmitting a signal?
What about NDA-covered material?
What about other agreements, like employment? Should you be able to lend your job to someone else?
Would you allow "book brokers" that dramatically over-provision books, and allow people to rent books with minute-level granularity?
Can you rent out individual pages?
What about a physical book? Is the binding itself in violation, because it prevents you from lending individual pages?
What about lending to someone with different media? Can someone with an e-book lend it to someone as a physical book? What constitutes the "same" media versus "different" media? What about different revisions of the same device?
What about software bugs, old/new display formats, or malfunctions?
