Second-hand PDFs

Question  Second-hand PDFs
This is a question I've had in the back of my mind ever since AP started offering PDF downloads, and I can't recall it being hashed out by the consumers on CSW or BGG or the old Yahoo! mailing list.

How do you feel about selling a PDF download to another wargamer?

The digital rights legal realm is still very much in its infancy. I'm curious to hear your opinions with respect to PG's digital offerings.

Personally, the idea of purchasing a digital download and then turning around and selling it to another person seems a bit smarmy to me. However, if the digital download was somehow out of print - be it through AP fiat or bankruptcy - I would probably have little qualms about making it available to others. That position is probably illegal per current laws, but I have little patience for things being OOP in the digital age.

* note - I am less interested in hearing what is legal than I am in hearing how you personally feel as a gamer / PG player / consumer.
