You can't buy a book, print off a ton of copies, and then sell those copies. You can do whatever you want with your book, lend out, give it away, but you're not allowed to profit off it.

Ask yourself who do these IP laws protect.

Hint: It's not you or the writer.

Sure you are. You're allowed to sell it to a book store, and if it's somehow more valuable than what you paid when you bought it, you profit.

Legally I cannot, but physically the book does not come with a device that prevents me from doing so.
