I had intended to depart this discussion, but I will answer your last two questions.
To the question above, it depends on the agreement you made with the producer when you purchased their product KNOWING it had DRM. If that agreement was that the DRM should not be removed or that the content not be altered, then it would not be legitimate'

And who does the customer pursue when the company who sold the ebook goes out of business. Note they do not necessarily go out of business due to financial reasons.

This question would be best answered by an attorney. However, I suspect that the owners of the now defunct business would be who you sue next.
The best advice I can give you is that if you don't like DRM content, don't buy it. Send DRM producers the message that they will not get your consumer money unless they produce products that meet your approval. Money talks, BS walks.
Now, from this point on I'm outta this thread. That gives all those who disagree with me the last word.
