You buy digital material online, you download it and you archive it to a secondary location or burn it to disc. No one can take anything away from you that way unless they physically walk into your home with a warrant.

There you go, problem solved!

That doesn't solve it in the long run. Their books are DRMed to a specific device and a specific computer. In a few years you will have upgraded both. Having that backup, without doing something classified illegal,
you still loose what you purchased.
So, all that backing up does, is delay the time in which Amazon does just
take your book away that you have paid for. You loose either way, and retroactively they are taking the book from you because they changed their minds after your purchase.
Bet they won't give you a refund a few years down the road when you can't transfer the book/s they "banned" to your new devices. In a few years, are you going to be able to find that same book at some small e-book store. Less likely. Net result, the censoring wins, you're without your book.
If the line moves, as others have suggested above, and Amazon becomes something like the evil Wallymart empire, and now the line restricts books based on religion and/or politics and/or anything a loud group determines isn't proper for you to read.... you still loose your books.... and your money... without crossing that line of civil disability and stripping the locks.
Such a way to run a company!
But it doesn't matter if you don't care what someone else does with your reading material.
