The problem is that DRM is not illegal so you have to bend over backwards to justify that downloading "problematic" copies is moral. Even if the usage of DRM is unethical. The really moral approach - if one is not satisfied with the current situation - would be to form interest group for e-book customers and confront booksellers and lobby for rendering DRM illegal.
