you think consumers won't consider being able to pass on the film/book they just enjoyed (the way they would a physical dvd/book, etc.) a "legitimate use case"?



A well architected DRM could support lending and even support an aftermarket for used "media".

However, it seems more likely Hollywood will eventually decide they're not selling media, but "entertainment experiences", and will try to train consumers to pay for the experience. Hollywood would like that, since one can't conveniently resell a used experience.
