What rights are being taken away from you? You can lend and borrow DRM protected books and you can transfer them to a new reading device. Your rights are being restricted if the shop you bought your ebooks at, will not longer support them or has gone out of business. But even then the questions remains whether lifelong readability of an ebook was something you paid for at the first place. Certainly you will check the user agreement before buying anything.

Anyway, if there are such people then they can put the DRM on their media themselves. No need to plague the 99+ % other people with that awfulness.

Then please come up with a better idea of how authors and publishers can effectively protect their work. If you have a better idea, please tell us.
