As Vlad showed with EULA (End-User License Agreement) publishers, buying or selling used games against their rules. You only have the right to own the game. The question remains.....what if you want to get rid of the game? Trash it? What are they going to do....arrest us? This is why they hate physical ownership, used game sales, piracy and want to end it all with digital distribution. With that, the EULA has to be accepted.
Vlad is a self admitted pirate. We aren't. If publishers wanted to take out places like Gamestop, Amazon.com and Ebay, they would've done it already, but they would witness a consumer revolt. Only a minority of consumers know about EULA and if it is enforced publishers will have hell to pay and they know it. This is why they want digital distribution so damn much.
Lastly, Gamestop is one of the largest seller of new games. If publishers screw with them, they've lost a large amount of sales.
