I think there is confusion between copyright and other things around it.

For example if I buy a physical book, I own it. I'm free to sell it or give it away. Things like the DMCA and the switch from an ownership model to a rental model are more the problem.

ie does getting rid of copyright enable right to repair? Does getting rid of copyright suddenly stop a games company pulling software from your library that you 'bought'?

Wouldn't these companies just put all the restrictions directly into the purchase agreement?
