Its not the ones that unlock the files in their possession that get caught, it is the stupid ones that openly share them with others via filesharing that get caught, although right now they are just going after the movie and music sharers, not the ebook sharers.

Its not the speeder when no cops are around that gets in trouble, it is the ones that got caught speeding that are in trouble.

A much better analogy relating to cars:
You bought and own the car, but you are limited to certain brands and sizes of tires that can be used for it. Sure you can use certain other brands or use tires from a different type of car, but it may not work as well as the brand specifically made for that car. (As a side note, in some states using a non-standard size tire if it is beyond a certain limit is actually illegal.)
You buy and have the right to use the tires but at some point in the future you will either need new tires or have a new car that requires its own type of tires, and there is a good chance your old tires will either not fit, or will just not work anymore.
You should not have to worry about using other tires, but if you make a mold and start copying and giving away or selling these tires, you may get sued or locked up for a while.
