You own the medium the content is contained in (for books, the paper). Not the content itself. You do not get to copy the books content and place it in another container and sell the new container as though the content within it was yours to distribute in the first place.

I own my hard drive too, not sure how that's any different than paper.

And we can't ignore that ebooks exist.

You do own your hard-drive.

That doesn't mean you own any software or ebooks obtained by ill-gotten means. Nor does it mean you can replicate and sell an application, as though it was your own, that you paid a licenses or rental fee for. But you still own your hard-drive and are free to erase it and sell it.
